Day 10 Alnwick to Dunbar

This was the longest running day with a full 70 mile run. the day started perfect for running, cool with lots of cloud. After yesterday's 12 hour day it was hard to get going but got there in the end. My run took me through farms and fields where there is still remains of the war and I took a moment to think of all the lost lives.

                                                                                         Standing in front of the ancient capital of Northumberland and in full admiration at the sheer size and craftsmanship of the old.

At 15:30 the rain started and an hour later the heavens opened, at times it rained so hard it was like looking through a frosted window. Because of the way my journey was mapped out, I spend some terrifying time on the A1 and was looking for any turn off as not to face another oncoming truck with all the sludge it brings with it.

After battling for a good few hours with cold persistent rain my hands were beginning to go numb and there was not one dry patch on my body. Goodbye England, hello Scotland!!!

What does bond say, "Die Another Day" 

Ha ha!
