Belford to Walkworth to Sunderland (1, more to come)

Sat in the cafe Morrison's at Sunderland, just had scrambled egg on toast and a lovely cup of tea - camped last night just down the road from here but couldn't get a 3G signal so couldn't write up the blog (can't do it in advance which is very frustrating). We had a really good day's cycling yesterday as not as warm and the sun not out for most of the day - and more importantly there were very few hills - so did 50 miles, bypassed going along the Tyne into Newcastle itself and took the cycle ferry across the Tyne instead to South Shields, and camped a few miles down the coast. Needed to send an email to a friend from university, Clive Tear who lives in Redcar where we hope to be tomorrow night now - and couldn't text/phone him because my defunct waterlogged phone from Hoy had the details on it when it died a death - and couldn't get onto my emails to find the email he'd sent me with the details on - so hence why we have stopped off in Morrisons - enjoying the warmth as so much colder today. Will write up the blog properly tonight hopefully, and reply to various emails I've had etc. Time to get going agin now - Roger has just gone to do the daily shop while I finish this off.
