Al and I managed a quick overnight yesterday, on the headland above Runswick Bay . The weather man said the “Beast from the East “ was coming some I packed my arctic bag and Al had his trusted Canadian mammoth bag .
Although it was cold it wasn’t as bad as expected and as it turned out we had a good night . Once set up we completed our camp chores , had some brews and watched the sun set .
A quick cook up , Al was on his famous dehydrated mince an gravy and I had some pre heated chilli in my thermos .
A nip of brandy and whiskey and a chat about future plans and locations and the temperature dictated an early bed . We both slept well , woke early to the sun shining over Runswick Bay (maybe that’s why they built the village on that side of the bay ?).
A quick walk out and home in time for tea and medals . It’s my birthday today and that was a great start to my 51st year .
