MENORCA HOLIDAY 2 MAY 2025

 A hotel holiday - love it! We flew from Leeds Bradford Airport for a week in Mahon at the Artiem Carlos Hotel for adults only. Beautiful hotel on the edge of the deep harbour of Mahon.

We hired a car for 5 days visited all the tourist spots, Cuitadella, Fornells, Parc Albufera, went on the yellow catamaran round the harbour, day at the Fortress, did the Baranc D'A hike and met Sylvia and Harry from Spain who showed us the way and got to Cala Galdano had coffee then took us after the bus ride in their car to get ours. Did not want to leave!

ALZHEIMERS TREK 13 IN NORTHUMBERLAND 24 MAY 2025

 Four nights in van in Craster at Proctors Stead Caravan Park to do the Alzheimer's Trek 13 mile course starting at Alnmouth.

Endless sunshine but very cold wind, we spent first day looking round Alnmouth, Warkworth and Amble, a lazy but lovely day.

The day of the trek, up early started at 8.30 and it was a beautiful walk along the coast to the 7 mile marker at the farm for lunch. Had half an hour.

Finished! Am so proud of myself I didn't want to do it and we've taken 5 hours with half an hour lunch stop included. Wow!!! Four and half hours for 13 miles. Thank you everyone for your amazing donations

Our last day, a gentle circular walk to Dunstanburgh Castle so we don't stiffen up after yesterday, he says! Would have been lovely apart from the gale force winds at times.
