Want to see Lindisfarne castle and run a few hills but only 2.5 days. What highlights should I have on my list? No Bike BTW.

A scotch pie from the incredible butcher at bamburgh would be on my list!

Lindisfarne Castle is closed I believe.

Northumberland is crap don’t bother going.

Whereabouts? Northumberland is pretty large. Have you got transport?

Plenty of glorious beaches, castles and Roman ruins if that’s your thing.

Or “Animal: Inside Out” is on at the Life Centre in Newcastle if seeing the internals of plasticised animals laid out like an exploded diagram in a Haynes manual is your thing. (Good place if you have kids in tow too)

Just me an Mrs Surfer, near Otterburn. Yes got transport. Seen posts on here about the beaches which one ???

Surfer eh?

If you have a board with you:

But you did not find out from me.

Beaches? Bamburgh and Beadnell are both miserable and horrible. Don’t go.

Bamburgh awful.

Beadnell. Also miserable.

Don’t go.

Lots of previous threads with good suggestions:

Thanks all. Gobuchul thats what I am after, cheers! I’ll take my kite.

Cheers GrahamS, nothing like a refresher 🙂

Kev is a good lad, he’ll look after you regardless of ability. 😀 If you already know what you’re doing then he’ll show you the good spots. He also does SUP and Coasteering.

Uphillcursing – Where’s that? How does anyone survive that? Are they not just smashed to pieces on the rocks? 😯

I did a tour of the Northumberland coast hunting out waves for my SUP a few weeks ago, can definitely recommend Beadnall and Bamburgh.

Stunning.

Otterburn is quite inland, Alwinton (Coquetdale valley)is not to far, stunning valley, run up Windy gyle and environs on the border ridge.
