Bamburgh Castle Run Sunday 19th March

Hi folks, we're planning another castle run - this time to Bamburgh Castle - on Sunday the 19th March.

Attachment 9334

The plan is to meet at Eskbank Park and Ride before taking in some brilliant roads and breath-taking scenery en route to Bamburgh Castle. Our aim is to arrive at Bamburgh for lunch time. Since our morning route there will be around 75 miles, we're planning to make the castle our official end point. Bamburgh Castle is rather spectacular and we suspect some folks might want to make the most of their visit. It also gives folks the freedom to take their preferred route home.

All going to plan, we'll make a short stop at The Potting Shed Restaurant TD11 3EL. Our run however is taking place on Mother's Day so it might be busy. If we're unable to stop we'll probably just push on to our end destination but there are facilities at this location should anyone require a stop.

For those visiting Bamburgh for the first time, there are plenty of cafes to choose from for lunch. There's also plenty of open ground and picnic benches should you wish to bring your own.

Parking at Bamburgh Castle is £5 for the first 3 hours with additional charges thereafter.

Start Time: 10am for a 10:30 start
Start Location: Eskbank Park & Ride EH22 3FR

Arrival Time: Approx. 1:20pm
Arrival Location: Links Road Car Park Long Stay, Bamburgh, NE69 7BJ

Run Distance: 75 miles

Sounds like a cracker. Unfortunately we're having a light refurb this winter so unlikely to be back on the road for this. Fingers crossed for another run later in the year. Have fun!

Could you stick me down for this one please Ali.

I'll try and get a shift swap for this. So im a maybe just now :D

Put us down please Ali, Dave and Barb.

Took a little drive down to Bamburgh castle yesterday and think we've found a great little route. Additional details now added to the first post. :thumbs up:

Nice one Ali, sounds good. Looking forward to it.

Thanks. I probably won’t make this one. Hope you all have a good day

Looking forward to this next Sunday xx

Me too. Looking at the weather though, might not get a chance to clean the MINI before the run.

Sorry but I can’t make it this weekend short on cash this month and get paid next week hopefully I can join next time

Sorry Ali, going to need to pull out of this one due to work unfortunately.

No worries folks. Thanks for letting us know. :thumbs up:

Late update. Was waiting to see what the family were doing for Mothers Day.
Will be spending time at home, enjoy the day out, looks a cracker :thumbs up:

Will have to pull out now, sorry Ali, I’ve sent you a PM.

Hope you all have a great day.

See everyone tomorrow

Pity we can't get a couple of last minute additions. Forecast not too bad.

Another great run today ,weather not bad and roads not bad with other traffic,big thanks to Ali and Laura for today ,never easy putting time and effort into organising a run :thumbs up:

A huge thanks to Ali and Laura for organising another fantastic run, it was exactly what was needed to blow the winter blues away. You don't realise how much you miss runs until your on one.

I never took any photos today in my excitement, just goes to show how good a day it was.
