Yo Gandalf, how goes it my wizardy friend. I trust you are well. Yes we eventually made it back to THE FEN although the A1 was not at all kind. Had a great time back on my old stomping ground, and even though the weather was a challenge managed to visit all of the following places...
Alnwick, Durdridge Bay, Bamborough, Seahouses, Budle Bay, Holy Island, Rothbury, Kielder. So got about a wee bit. Plenty fresh air and long walks, totally brilliant.
