Fuuuuuuuck that. Watching campers battling their tents in strong winds is one of life's guilty pleasures, touring van awnings can be similarly amusing though not to such an extent.

Some of these didn't, when Scotland had their Thunder Thursday last Tuesday (was good to watch as it missed us passing east and west by about 5 miles but hammered everywhere further north.!)

wykikitoon 16612 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Right you Northumberland Loving Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurnts. The wife and I have booked to goto a place near Blanchland in late Sept. We were going to head upto the coast for a couple of nights first. Somewhere around Seahouses. Can anyone recommend anywhere? For a couple of nights, maybe somewhere we can get a bite to eat and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38739 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Bamburgh is just up the road from Seahouses, much nicer, big fuck-off castle, best beach in Britain, and has a few hotels you can pick from. The Victoria isn’t bad, certainly for a couple of nights. While you’re there, do the boat trip to the Farnes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing trips but not landing on the island. The seal-spotting trip is the one to go for, lasts about an hour and a half. https://www.farne-islands.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Failing that, Low Newton-by-the-Sea is a nice little place south of Seahouses, see if you can get booked at The Joiners Arms? https://joiners-arms.com/ Also, The Ship Inn is a must visit, right on Low Newton beach, which is also a lovely spot.

Meenzer 14031 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 A bit further north, the Barn at Beal is good for daytime or evening food too. Mind, I see their current menu includes a Pheasant Katsu Curry, which sounds dangerously close to English fusion tapas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13836 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Had a few days wild camping in Scotland, it was wonderful. Went over Galloway forest park & camped by a loch, which we pretty much had to ourselves. The weather wasn’t always on our side but we had an excellent fire and a tarp to hide under so it didn’t bother us as the stars were out. Lovely few days. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
