March 21, 2023,Smell that Marv, that's freedom! No, It's fish!

After a very long unscheduled drive to a hospital we had a short unscheduled yet nice walk around Craster. Nothing too serious, what was just a common cold became a rather nasty chest infection that I haven't been able to shift.

October 5, 2024,Dunstanburgh Castle and Beach

Unfortunately, Komoot lost GPS contact after about 45 minutes. The large beach after the castle is well worth seeing. You can see a few photos of the rest of the route on the map.
