ehh, oryginalny zamysl to byla 4 dniowa wycieczka na hebrydy zewnetrzne - lewis, harris i te inne, ale prognoza pogody wiescila huraganowe wiatry (ktore sie niestety sprawdzily, wiec gdzie my tam z namiotem..), potem probowalysmy leciec do amsterdamu, ale wybuchl wulkan na islandii (o matko..) wiec ostatecznie, dosc spontanicznie postanowilysmy jechac w jedynym slusznym kierunku -na poludnie. trasa wycieczki obejmowala zamek bamburgh, wioske staithess, miasteczko whitby, zatoke robin hooda, caly dzien w york a potem okolice harrogate i doliny hrabstwa yorkshire. bylo fajnie, choc pogoda w kratke, ale najczesciej padalo kiedy akurat jechalysmy (a jesli nie to - nieprzemakalne spodnie najlepszym przyjacielem lazika), w sumie udalo nam sie zobaczyc nawet wiecej niz zakladalysmy. corsa dzielnie pokonywala 20-25% podjazdy w dolinach yorkshire, bo bylo ich tam pelno.
zamek bamburgh - calkiem fajny na pewno warty odwiedzenia (szczegolnie w polaczeniu z holy island (swieta wyspa lindisfarne) ktora jest oddalona o zalednie kilka kilometrow. zamek usytuowany przy dlugiej piaszczystej plazy, w sloneczny dzien wyobrazam sobie ze mozna tam spedzic wiele godzin na spacerach.

well, original plan was to go up north to outer hebrides (lewis, harris and pals) but the forecast was hurricane winds (at it came true..) therefore we gave up the idea of going there with our tent. then we thought about visiting amsterdam, but due to volcanic eruption in iceland we gave up this idea as well. lastly and spontaniously we decided to go south to seek better weather than in scotland and to see something different, like proper tourists. we planned 4 days trip, visiting bamburgh castle, staithess, whitby, robin hood's bay, york, area of harrogate and yorkshire dales. weather was so-so, but we managed to stay dry (mostly, waterproof trousers are walker's best friends). actually we managed to see even more than we planned, which was really good. corsa was all right too, managing up the roads with 20-25% ascent angle (plenty of them in the dales)
so, first of all - bamburgh castle. nice wee place, definitely worth visiting, especially when visiting holy island of lindisfarne (which is only few miles away). basicaly the castle was build on the long sandy beach (just at the beach), on a nice sunny day i believe it's easy to spend there many hours just out and about.
