Saturn Saturdays

[Davey]

Hi guys, Finchale Priory was excellent, really peaceful. We've now moved up countrey to Berwick upon Tweed on the Caravan Club site. Site is pleasant with a nice view over the harbour entrance but If I'm honest BuT is not the most inspiring town I've visited this year or even this decade.

TT, yes we did go to the NRM at Shildon and it is very good, certainly an improvement over the Timothy Hackworth museum as it used to be, I was part of a small group that overhauled and ran Sans Pareil for the TH museum about ten years ago, sadly she wasn't there, in Germany apparently along with Rocket.

Don't know if I'll get back on here at all this week as we just ain't gettin very good signal on our mobiles (we use our mobiles as modems for mobile internet access).

We went there two weeks ago, not bad considering the entrance price.

Was chuffed to see Mallard as it's one of my faves... And the Gas Turbine APT was cool.

Not so impressed with the Cafe though especially as I don't carry cash and we only had about £9 to feed the two kids ( avoided the black bananas ) and us two..

We only had about an hour at Shildon, once I found out that Sans Pareil wasn't at home there was little else to capture my attention. Mallard is fantastic of course and as you say the gas turbine powered APT is quite interesting. Didn't even notice there was a cafe though, Mrs and dog sitting outside waiting for me so time limited.
