I don’t think I’d ever been to Runswick Bay before, which is a terrible admission having lived in North Yorkshire for nearly a quarter of a century.

Gorgeous weather brought out the crowds and as usual motorcyclists gathered around the the Feversham Monument, a grade 2 listed memorial to the 2nd Baron Feversham. I chatted to a lovely couple who I thought were bikers but tuned out to
It was a long way to go, four hours from home to Helensburgh, but I’m glad I made the trip. As a communications trainer I do have to travel quite a bit to schools across the North of England, and occasionally to the West Midlands, but going as far as Scotland is a rarity. I

I had a free morning so made the 40 minute drive south to York, our nearest metropolis! It was quite buzzing when I got there with lots of restaurants offering tables in the streets so there was a continental feel to the place, even though the weather was distinctly chilly. I had no particular plan
