Back from the north-east

I managed to get one or two decent photographs from the trip to Northumbria, despite being battered by the 70mph gale force winds.
Saturday turned out a little drizzly, but cleared up by the afternoon. Sunday dawned with the news that gale force winds were heading north, the remnants of hurricane Katia. the shoot for Sunday went well, but we were all expecting the worst for Monday when the wind suddenly increased on Sunday night.
On Monday we headed out for Lindisfarne with the winds very strong but manageable. That lasted about an hour or so, before the gusts hit with a vengeance. It was almost impossible to walk against the pressure of the wind and very difficult to keep your feet. We moved inland to Chillingham before the tide came in and covered the causeway again and once at the castle, the severity of the wind eased a little.
All-in-all, an interesting trip.
