Travels in our Bongo - Northumberland



Our first camping trip in our Bongo. We went to Northumberland, despite the chilly weather forecast! Our campsite was rather remote - a farm near Berwick-upon-Tweed - we shared our surroundings with horses, chickens, dogs and a few other hardy campers!

The weather turned out to be ok and we managed to visit all the places we wanted to without getting wet. The only rain was on the final morning and if you happened to be in Alnwick Sainsburys on that day you may have caught sight of four slightly bedraggled people, two of whom were still in their pyjamas!

In four days we managed to pack in trips to Lindisfarne (a bit touristy), Bamburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Berwick and The Alnwick Garden, which has been one of our favourite visits in recent times!

All in all we had a great time and we're looking forward to the next trip - Blackpool - in a few weeks time!
