Day Four - Berwick to Amble

A long day today which ended with a photo shoot by local supporters at a beautiful castle in Warkworth.

We started the day along the coast with wonderful views of the sea but yet more hills to pedal up. Dennis, who had just joined the ride got a puncture only an hour in and we had an impromptu break until the support van came and picked him up.

We started off taking the country-lane cycle routes but changed our mind after a few hours when the wind decided to change direction and we were facing it head on and taking a long time to get anywhere really. It seemed like we would never get to our lunch stop but pained legs got us up a few more hills and we were there at Belford.
Belford is a small hamlet and we were surprised when a woman came running out of the Crafts Gallery there, all excited that we had arrived and sorry she hadn't known we were coming through. She presented us with a mug from her crafts shop and a pretty card that we promised we would send to Mordechai.

We reached a small seaside town Seahouses much later than planned but managed to give leaflets about the ride out to lots of interested tourists.

We're all worn out but again are heartened by the kindness and support of the people who are looking after us this evening.
