We dont often see the Northern Lights this far south as a rule… but two weeks ago we got a treat.
This shot is via James Cummings – good work young man.
Sadly I missed this wondrous sight as I was out of the country, sliding down an Alp. Hopefully I will get another chance to this this sight at home. :)

Only days ago, amidst what had been very changeable weather I was asked to run a photo-shoot for a local PR agency who needed shots for an upcoming book and guide to the North-East coastline.
Bamburgh Beach bathed in morning sunlight
The weather had been terrible the day before, and I wasn’t expecting to be ‘on’ for the photos. Luckily, it was a glorious morning.

The perfect match
Claire and Mr Kai, have a very close relationship…
Holy Island Castle
Bamburgh beach is unique in that it offers good vantage points for Bamburgh castle, Lindisfarne castle and the Farne Islands.
Trotting in the shallows
With the group assembled, we headed down the beach a while.
Good looking castle...
Water sun and sky coming together.
Same castle... different angle.
You don’t see too many shots of Bamburgh castle from the south. I like it.
Having some fun
The horses love a good stretch on the beach, stopping them was hard. :)
The group resting
Walking-off...
Although not empty, the beach looked as good as any you could imagine.
A different kind of shot.
For a beach ride along to Bamburgh along to the castle get in touch with Slatehall Riding Centre.

As everyone knows, England, despite having an average summer, never does very well for surfing conditions in summer.
Or as we thought.
For the second year in a row, we’re going to get some of the potentially largest and best swell ever seen in the summer months on the east coast.
Ive just returned from the water having decided i should get the board out and get the arms ready for the rest of the week. It was huge – overhead and barreling all down the beach. You just don’t get waves like that on the East coast of England.
So, the rest of the week is supposed to get bigger and bigger… the charts look like this –
Swell forecast
Remember today was at least 5-6 foot.
And with the radar looking like this…
Chart
Im pretty sure we will have decent overhead surf for the next week… with a ten second period. That means getting the jetski’s out and towing-in with the sun shinning, and seeing all those secret reef’s lighting-up.
Bring it on…
Some snaps form the session this morning;
Clean lines
Marching swell
Inner Farne setup
Workable...
This week we had a visitor to the village.
Ben Southall dropped in after competing in the LAMM.

We stopped in over at Bamburgh for a few press shots and then headed to Beadnell to check the surf and have some food.
