Mike's photos - Arriving at Nether
Grange, Alnmouth, the first walk (after a welcome cup of tea) is around
the village . |
||
On the terrace . |
||
The buttresses give a clue to the
former use of the house, a grain store . |
||
We set off . |
||
Roger gives us snippets of information . |
||
We head
towards the river mouth . |
||
And we spot a cross on the hill across
the river. This used to be the site of the village's church, cut off
when the river changed course . |
||
Zooming in on the lighthouse . |
||
A better view of the cross . |
||
A lovely late afternoon . |
||
But
to the north the sky looks a bit dark . |
||
Some of us pop
across the 9 hole golf couse to see . |
||
The sea . |
||
Clouds are gathering . |
||
We beat a hasty retreat to Nether
Grange looking forward to dinner . |
||
Richard's photos - Usual
Northumberland welcome as we start our arrival day evening walk . |
||
Walking round the old harbour . |
||
Which still has a few boats . |
||
And looking to the north along the
coast which will be our route in the morning . |
||
On the edge of the beach we pause . |
||
To discuss the possibility of the dark clouds being around in the morning | ||
