Hexham and Northumberland

We have enjoyed our week here in Hexham - the weather has been mostly glorious and there is lots to see. Hexham is an ancient town with a very interesting Abbey and England's oldest purpose built prison (opened in 1333).  

Dancing with Death depiction in the abbey

We had a day out hiking along Hadrian's Wall yesterday which is close by - plenty of Roman Fort ruins to see along the wall.

A visit to Wallington Hall today

We are settling into life in the camper - all seems to work well - so far so good!

We're off again!

Some of you will remember our last long adventure to South/Central America on our Africa Twin motorbike. This trip is a bit different as we now have Purdy! She had to be comfortably accommodated so we are travelling in a demountable camper.

The plan is to explore the more remote Scottish Islands - we have a kind of plan (factoring in the midge season and the "warmth"). 

We left Suffolk on 2nd April and are now in Northumberland for a week and have set up camp on Hexham Racecourse which is located on a ridge south of the town with lovely views.

I (Dee) have been to a workshop in the Hexham Art Centre to make a traditionally designed Ukrainian Easter Egg. It was a fun afternoon - this is me with Annechka showing off my egg along with some others.
