School hol week so decided to have a short break away @ Ord House, Berwick. Stayed here many times before and is a fantastic site with top notch facilities etc. It was hit and miss if we were going to make it as both Angus and myself have been laid up with suspected e.coli bug and i can tell you its not pleasant. We both caught it from the same source at the same time and it took about a week it work its way into our system, lets put it this way i would rather have case of food posining than this and the docs cannot do nothing until a min of 7-10 days after you start showing the signs. Anyway with emergency rations of bog roll etc we were off. It was on our last day when Angus was showing signs of some colour back in his face we decided to have a very gentle spin out from Spittal promenade along the costal path to Holy Island causeway. From there the tide was out so had a ride over to Lindisfarne Island for some lunch. We did the same route last year but this time there was less head wind, more visibility and warmer so was a more pleasant ride. Below are some photos from the ride - enjoy
