Comments |
Nice lunch stop beside hermit’s cave. Vivid contrast between Amble and Warkworth. Nice pub stop in the black Bull in Warkworth, which is The “official supplier” of pickled eggs to the Red Arrows and has the only recyclable toilets in England. Ron took a wrong turning but recovered quickly. Wildlife/Flora/Animals: Birds: Cuddy Ducks, Mallards, Cormorants, Heron, Oyster Catchers, Swan, Seagulls, Gosanders, Robins, Chaffinches, Bluetits, Magpies and a stuffed Penguin. Mammals/others: Hare. |
