19 August 2024 Keswick
Bus into town but got a lift from someone I knows daughter. Had a good look about then met some friends for coffee at the Theatre gosh its the worst place ever in Keswick for coffee.
Coffee half full my friend asked for a spoon they said we don’t give them with take away cups she insisted so they gave her a desert spoon great for removing the froth then taking it back to show them how much coffee is in the cup.
The cakes look awful I am a cake man but not in here.
To many dogs.
The flowers in the park look lovely.

The shower block is FAB here my friends think it looks like it belongs in the Savoy until I told them if it did then the people who did the damage to a shower door would have been able to spell JerK.
Cycle up to Tynmouth for coffee then into Whitley Bay lunch then caught the bus into Whitley bay twice for some shopping in the afternoon had a cycle down to Seaton Delavan Hall for a look around interesting.
14 August 2024 Berwick/Whitley Bay
Cycle into Whitley bay twice morning and afternoon after watching silly hour on the campsite very very interesting today one of the best. In the evening a walk down to Seaton Sluice.
Enjoying a bit of time with friends that had come to see me (wonderful). The next picture is the poor abuse that food only bins have to suffer at the hands of ucky people.
Had a few cycles up to Tynmouth and down to Blyth the beaches are very busy here and lovely weather.
Coffee in Dunbar before leaving for Berwick a short drive but again the roads were difficult due to road works. Got a good pitch then friends arrived so had a good catch up over the next two days had a few cycles and lots of chatting in the sun.
Today the 7th showed them The Catholic Church of our Lady and St Cuthbert although closed had a walk road the garden lovely. On the way back to the site noticed a removal van with a lovely picture on the side it could have been an early motorhome.
A sad thing on the site someone had stolen a picture from the toilet block.
Cycle this morning into Dunbar and visited a few roads that I have never been before. Spotted a lovely artillery gun.
Round the harbor again lovely art work and spotted a Pirate then a coffee and cake in town and a good chat with the café owner.
Back to the site for a bit of hand washing as the next site the washing machine was out of order last time I was there. A pub in town named after my type of women.
Down for a coffee at The Bothy before leaving for North Berwick love the carved Eagle. Horrible drive down again road diversions and road works its unbelievable.
Have always loved ergonomics don’t think this fits it well.
3 August 2024 Dunbar
Had a short cycle into North Berwick before leaving counted 54 camper vans parked on the sea front over night. They also ask beach walkers to clean the beach here of building rubble?
Short drive down 35 mins. not to bad, campsite busy took 20 mins to get through the gate Ugh wish I had got here early like the 6 vans in front of me.
Had lunch then a cycle into Dunbar down to the harbor. Back for afternoon tea then another cycle down to the lighthouse.
