Leavin' old Durham town again

A lovely last day with my sister.  The wind was still blowi ng a gale across the valleys but the sun shone brightly never-the-less.  Had lunch at The George,a very olde worldly pub still with all the original fireplace and hardware.

Met Dee off the train at Durham and found our resting place for the night at St Chad's near the cathedral and university.  The down side was we had to park the car fifteen minutes away from the YHA and of course we got lost trying to find the place.

Had a pleasant walk on the way back and enjoyed beautiful views of the cathedral towers reflected in the the river which flows beneath.  What an amazing feat of engineering and architecture considering it is over 900 years old.


We have to back track to my sister's again tomorrow as I left my sneakers there then it's off north we go.  Hoping to get north of Edinburgh before it gets too late..
