Jesus Barry, that was a bit much.Kinell Ron, even I've been there
What the feck have you done today?
- Thread starter The GOAT
- Start date
I'm even more ashamed to say that I haven't been there either as I've always wanted to and I don't live that far away.took Elsie and our dog (Lucy) to Bamburgh Castle - I'm ashamed to say that I have never been there before.
Elsie took the dog onto the beautiful beach for a paddle (the dog, not Elsie) - I stayed in the car park having paid £6 to use that facility.
We would have toured the castle, but they restrict dogs to the outer grounds
I took myself up there on the Triumph two years ago for my birthday. I fully intended to have a walk along the beach, look round the grounds and tour the castle. I'd only seen the place on TV and I imagined it stood in glorious isolation above the shore like Dunstunburgh. I didn't realise it came with a full village attached. It was the first sunny weekend of the spring and the place was rammed. Couldn't even find a spot to park the bike so I rode straight on - I hate crowds. I meant to stop and get fish and chips at Seahouses too but that was rammed as well. I'm afraid I just went home.
Must make the effort to do it soon and I'd like to go to Chillingham as well - maybe stay the night in one of their haunted rooms...
We called at Seahouses for Fish and Chips but Elsie refused to pay the £18 (they didn't do the smaller portions) - so we ended up in Tynemouth and she paid (with my money) £11-50.
You're always going to pay top dollar in places like Seahouses. Whitby I imagine is the same - though again I've never stopped there because it's so busy. I know I should..
When I visit the Northumberland coast I prefer to head for Craster and get myself a consignment of Craster kippers. As soon as you get out of the car you can smell the smoke house. A sunny autumn day mid-week is the best time to go to Craster. It's usually quiet.
Tynemouth is a nice spot. The end point of the coast-to-coast path.
Umm, gimlet apparentlyWho hasn’t!View attachment 172825
Yeah, true. I made that up.
Been there but didn't stop. But I did open my visor as I passed through. Does that count? I think it does.Umm, gimlet apparently
A while back I decide to rearrange my garage s it was easier to get my new to me bike in. It meant i had to back my boxster out.
I left it running while I shifted a couple of cabinets
When I went back to it it seemed to be missing white smoke from underneath and a strong "electric" smell then it cut out. It wouldn't restart.
Anyhow I pushed it back in disconnected the battery and left it.
With all that hot sun the bikes were used a lot.
Anyway a week or so ago I got it up on my quick Jack's and started looking for a fault. I found the fuse for the DME was blown. Fitted a new fuse and it blew straight away. Somewhere there was a short on a sensor. So over the last few days I've been disconnecting things
Today i finally found it.

I know, we all are at the end of the day!! The 1% makes sense being Nordic as they traded with the Celts.
