I was going to go to Bamburgh on public transport but it takes about three and a half hours, nearly three times what it would take to drive. And it would cost about 9 GBP including parking my car at the nearest Park and Ride station. Whereas it will cost me nothing to drive there except possibly for a car parking fee at Bamburgh.

So once I've decided on today's outfit I'll be off. Probably wearing a jumper, it's only 12 C and not expected to get warmer than 16 C today with total cloud cover all day. Tights again I think.

Three and a half hours? Where from? Is that due to distance or simply a lack of transport?

@ArishMell It's about 80 km, at least two buses and possibly a trip on the Metro plus at least half an hour of walking unless I drive to a park and ride.. The price is actually pretty good 6.80 GBP for a day ticket covering the whole of Northumberland.

@ninalanyon many years ago there was a Disney movie filmed in the castle and my uncle was in it ( fame)
