A great walk on Saturday with friends. Starting at Craster, past Dunstanburgh Castle ("It'll be nice when it's finished", someone quipped!)
Then pushing on along beautiful Embleton beach towards Low Newton by the Sea. Passed those funny 'huts', one of which I have a deisire to own some day. What a lovely bolt-hole it would make for escaping the daily grind.
Brilliant views back towards the Castle. It was around these parts that my parents did their courting. Dad played a lot of golf at Embleton and mum came to stay with her friends for weekends at Dunstan. My grandparents often rented a cottage at Craster during the summer months, and it was good to get some shots and compare them with similar views of them sitting outside the cottage circa 1935.
Arriving at Low Newton we endeavoured with some difficulty to all get a table together at
The Ship Inn. This is a very popular place, (due perhaps to recent television fame) and crowded at most times of the week apparently. Bren and me opted for the brie and pear ciabatta.... very nice it was too!
Then it was back on the road, or rather the beach, for the return leg back to Craster. Gracie agreed it was one of the best days out for a long time.

It would be nice to see some of those photos from 1935 with their 2009 counterparts - if you cannot get your old albums to a scanner, just photographing the 1935 snaps should do quite well?
