Tide out this morning so a run along the beach towards North Berwick turned at the signs for Nude Bathing Ahead it’s a really hot day and one could easily have a stroke? Wrong word (Heart Attack).

Got the bikes out and cycled into North Berwick for lunch then up passed the Law (not the police) the Hill to Tantallon Castle then back to the site for a thunder storm. Bumped into a fellow traveller that we met at Tynemouth again.

Cycle round the town and walk around the whole town while waiting for the bikes. Our usual walk on Spittal beach in the evening. (why are we always so tired?)
