Wheyhey!Thank you!

You're very welcome, my Dear! :-)

Check out pics posted by Wyeboy, and Pansypotter here on GOY! :-)

Beyond Bamburgh and the tidal estuary-like mud flats of Budle Bay, is Holy Island, still often known by its more ancient name of Lindisfarne. It is only accesible from the mainland at low tide by means of a causeway, which can be reached from the village of Beal.To the south of the more modern road-surface causeway, a series of stakes mark the old route across to the island called the `Pilgrims Way' which was used in ancient times by visitors to the great Christian centre of Lindisfarne. Again this could be crossed only at low tide, a situation perfectly described by Sir Walter Scott;

"For with the flow and ebb, its style

Varies from continent to isle;

Dry shood o'er sands, twice every day,

The pilgrims to the shrine find way;

Twice every day the waves efface

Of staves and sandelled feet the trace."

Wow, Arlene!

Wish I wasn't driving my auto transmission Nissan Micra, and could erase the road markings!!!!!!!! :-)

I've been there!!!! Lovely place

Isn't it, Sewingkilla? Very atmospheric and every stone oozes history.
