It’s lovely...

Running on holiday is a joyful experience that has only revealed itself to me over the past year. Cold and bright in Northumberland. My favourite conditions for a leisurely 5k

That looks beautiful! And what’s that funny blue colour in the sky??? Have fun, enjoy your holiday!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It’s cold mind!

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Cold and bright is the norm in Northumberland.........even in the summer.........but that is just perfect for running.

Is that Lindisfarne castle?

[Hidden in reply to IannodaTruffe]

It’s the priory. It’s an amazing, magical place. I love staying here and being intermittently cut off from the rest of the world

Hope you have a paddle on the causeway as the tide is coming in! 😄

[Hidden in reply to Elfe5]

Just saw some people stranded on St Cuthbert’s island paddling back to Lindisfarne with children in piggy backs. I bet tat was cold! Sat in the pub now. Very happy

Isn't it...it's like having an extra bit added to our holiday and makes you feel so much more connected to where you are.

[Hidden in reply to MickGJ]

Yes I’ve walked a lot here but this is the first time I’ve run

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Oh I have been there many times- I love Northumberland, - it is our 'go to place' for a day out. If you want a beautiful coastal run or walk, the stretch of coastline between Boulmer and Craster is gorgeous- great fish restaurant at the pub in Boulmer for the end of the day too. Happy holidays! 😃

[Hidden in reply to Elfe5]

Yes we love it here too. In the pub Reminiscing about holidays with the children over the years.

We love low Newton to Craster and back as a walk. 8 miles is still a bit too far for my running especially as a lot of it is on sand!

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes, we have walked that stretch too many times- wonderful! Enjoy the rest of your holiday. X😃

Gorgeous! Lucky you!

What a beautiful place to run and that blue sky is the icing on the cake.

Ooh I love Northumberland! And know the priory well.

I’m still new to this running lark (W8) and I shocked my other half yesterday cos I said “ i need some more running tops else I’m gonna run out of clean tops when we’re on hols” he nearly choked on his cup of tea!...”are you really gonna run when we’re away from home?” he asked. “Course I am” I answered, and he walked away chuckling... think he’s secretly proud though 😉🏃‍♀️

Yes! You are a runner now! Mr Beth needs to get used to the new you🏃🏾‍♀️

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Lillybeth30mins]

I relate to this- I'm enjoying watching Mr Elfe work his way through various stages of disbelief and surprise!! 😄

Although he has been very sympathetic while I continue to cough, growl and whinge on the SC. 😡

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate]

Oh that looks like a great place to run 👍

[Hidden in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

An island gives you a natural running circumference route and Lindisfarne is a very manageable distance. Got to be done 🏃🏾‍♀️

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

If you have never been to Lindisfarne it is well worth the journey - but a long way from your part of the country.- I often think of you because my daughter is in her first year at UEA. First time visiting the Fens for me - so beautiful. 😀

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

I hope she is enjoying Norwich and UEA. I live in a lovely county too 👍

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

Yes thanks, she's having a great time. 😃

Looks & sounds perfect 😊🏃🏼‍♀️
