Today’s weather guess was not great with a 60-80% chance of rain from about 11:00. Not wishing to sit in Frodo all day getting stir-crazy we donned suitable clothing, including waterproof jackets, packed umbrellas and set off on our familiar…

Today’s forecast expected a largely dry day with some brighter spells happening. It’s just a spit over a mile on an interesting walking route from our campsite into the town centre of Berwick itself, so after a casual breakfast of…

Today we were moving on to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Earliest check in time for our new site is 13:00 and we needed to leave our Dunstan Hill campsite by about 11:00, So, with about a 1-hour drive, we’d need to kill some…
