Durham

I met Jessie and James in Durham on Saturday and we stayed till Monday (it was a long weekend). Our accommodation was an apartment near the town centre. The apartment was luxurious after a few weeks using my tent and staying in hostels. And it had a washing machine, a godsend. We visited the cathedral and castle in Durham on Saturday and Jessie cooked a very nice meal. On Sunday we drove up to Lindisfarne, an island, but it is accessible from the mainland at low tide, which restricted our visit to 2 hours. We walked around part of the island. We went to Berwick-upon-Tweed, the northernmost town in England. We also had an oligatory stop at the "angel of the north" (pictured). Monday was a very nice day. We visited Hadrian's wall; walking on the path next to the wall to the remnants of a roman fort (which counts as a pretty significant piece of roman architecture in the UK). Jessie and James trained back to London in the early evening and I continued going north.
