Holiday - Northumberland and North Wales - Day 5 - Simonside

Northumberland and North Wales Holiday

Monday 5th June 2017
This morning the rain had already begun! We had a lazy morning and then had a walk out to the local bakery. We had some lunch and decided we would have a walk out even though it was still raining! We set off for a carpark at the bottom of Simonside, put on our waterproofs and made our way up the hill!
There was not much of a view on the way up as the clouds were low and it was raining! It cleared a little on the top and by the time we got to the bottom it had really brightened up. I was a nice walk and we were glad we had got out for some fresh air!












Back at the cottage we dried off, warmed up and had a look at where we can go ringing tonight. We decided on going to Whitley Bay. There is also a Toby Carvey on the way there so dinner is sorted too!

So this evening didn't quite pan out as planned!  We set off to the Toby Carvery following directions the app had given me. We got to where it said it was and drove up and down the road but n sign of it.  We carried on toward Whitley Bay hoping we would come across it but we didn't.  We saw another pub and decided to eat there instead.  By now I had google searched the Toby and it was placed 1 1/2 miles away.  Feeling grumpy I wrote and complained to Toby!  We then continued into Whitley Bay and joined their ringing practice - there were quite a few ringers there and 2 other visitors also.
