Setting off from High Newton . |
||
We are looking forward . |
||
To seeing the terns . |
||
We head down to . |
||
The beach . |
||
We have it to ourselves . |
||
Weather looking good . |
||
A warden directs us off the beach . |
||
It belongs to the nesting
birds at the moment . |
||
The wardens guard the place day and
night in the nesting season . |
||
Lots of sightings . |
||
One good tern deserves another . |
||
A heavy shower and high winds dampen
our spirits . |
||
Back on the beach . |
||
We head for Beadnell Bay with another
limekiln . |
||
Ideal for a sheltered coffee stop . |
||
How many have we now seen? . |
||
A 1930's house is very striking . |
||
Sun out again, we are off . |
||
Enjoying crossing streams . |
||
And rocks . |
||
And a golf course with cowslips on the
edge . |
||
High rise accommodation . |
||
A boat off to the Farne Islands . |
||
We reach Seahouses . |
||
Where we vote on stopping for . |
||
Fish and chips . |
||
Refreshed, we set off . |
||
Past a group of eider ducks . |
||
On to the beach once more . |
||
Slow, ducks crossing . |
||
All clear . |
||
Lots more eider ducks . |
||
Broken shell patterns in the sand . |
||
A gentle sea . |
||
Gosh, it's getting warmer . |
||
Patterns in the eroded rocks . |
||
Amongst the rock pools . |
||
Warm enough for some
to paddle . |
||
Drying the feet is a
slight problem . |
||
Bamburgh Castle
. |
||
Looms over us . |
||
Another brilliant walk
to complete our holiday . |
