Nina's Blog - Tuesday 2nd July 2024

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.

Pictures from Bamburgh that have little or nothing to do with the castle

Guess which footprints are mine

Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind this notice banning drones?

It claims that the reason for the ban is that the site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)

What harm does a drone do to the site compared to the tens of thousands of people walking all over it do?

Or is it really that they just want a monopoly of aerial photographs of the castle?

Walking across the dunes in shoes was fine and so was walking along the beach but getting down from the dunes to the beach filled my shoes with sand
