Day 12

Miles completed today 98

Total Miles 821

What a wonderful day even if it was a little long! Northumberland did us proud from the Roman wall through Wooler to just north of Berwick - this stage was magnificent (I am biased!)

We managed 42 Miles pre lunch - before stopping at a very strange place which was an idyllic mansion on the outside but more like a haunted house inside! We then pressed on along fantastic country roads to Wooler (apart from one short off road section that was totally impassable on a road bike so we had to find a way around). Adam then sniffed out an outstanding cafe in a nondescript garden centre (best scone of the trip award) which refuelled us for the final push to Mordington. Encouraged in this part by the great views out to a really blue North Sea.

Amazing route, great road surfaces and beautiful cycling weather. Rounded off with fab fish and chips at Eyemouth with Mum ... one more shorter day to Edinburgh and then a well deserved rest on Friday ...
