Yesterday was spent in getting to Edinburgh Station and catching the train to Newcastle, transferring to the Newcastle Metro, travelling for three stops to Jesmond and walking to our hotel. There was one tiny hitch in that I hadn't unpacked my carefully prepared walking instructions and instead followed the compass arrow on my GPS. It did not take the railway tracks into consideration and we found ourselves directed to pass through a row of buildings to reach our destination in 1/10 of a mile. A passerby offered help without prompt and pointed out the pedestrian overpass at the end of the street.
Ray and I now how separate rooms, fortunate because I think my snoring was becoming an issue, and we've both been busily separating our cycling gear from our regular luggage.
Breakfast is served in 1-1/2 hours and our van will arrive at 9:00.
Next transmission should be from Brampton after our first day's cycling is complete.
Here's a small video of the route from Bowness-on-Solway to Brampton;
