you are in for a real treat after the last blog, remember we said when the tide is right we would go along the beach. Well in the morning we did that and what was around that corner you remember was a different world. I cant say any more but after this we fell in love with Scotland even though we had not been for a while...................................enjoy.<br />

Well, there you are, just a note, the only place I could get a mobile signal was on that white piece of cement in the middle foreground of the last picture.<br />
The beach was so quite all you could here was the occasional seagull.</div>
Needless to say, we had a fantastic day on the beach and the weather was fantastic. Don't know how to follow this but we shall see. Thanks for looking, Mike<br />

back of the trail again and out to the marshes at Burgh by Sands (pronounced brouf) to do a bit of kite flying with our old friend Graham, Sue very wisely stayed in their house down the road with her iPad and Trisha, Grahams wife was at work. We were blessed with lovely weather and overlooked the Soleway Firth.<br />

as a break from the tour we went to Walmer near Deal in Kent today to see LUTS which is light up the sky in aid of Children in need. The club, the Kent Kite Flyers put this on as a yearly event to help raise a bit of cash for the charity.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
During the day Sue and Steve flew kites and about 2pm we arrived with a kite on the air on Walmer sea front.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All was fine till when the event was about to start, the the wind dropped, the idea was to fly the night kites with lights on them but with no wind at all the members had to do a static on the ground display.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

To me it was a godsend as the kites were easier to photograph on the ground but a shame for the club after so much effort.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another glorious day at Beamish, first stop on the tram was the colliery which means changing vehicles at the trams do not go down hill. Off the tram and wait for a bus to take us down the hill. The train was magnificent as it gathered steam to go along to the pit.</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Very interesting construction with the access to the shaft being above the ground on stilts. This meant a climb up the stares to the mine entrance and this enabled the trains to pass underneath to collect the coal in the wagons.</div>

Parking up this was the view from the site area, as you can see we only had a short walk to the living museum, the club had sorted out a reduction in cost as we are club members and also we had another reduction for being seniors so it was very good value as we stayed for three nights.</div>
