Day 7 Road Trip

A long day driving today....but lots to see. We started very early at fish ladder at Pitlochry. Not too much salmon action so far his season, but it was interesting to see how the wee fishies make it up the stream!
We then went via the Firth of Forth bridge by passing Edinburgh back to Blighty. Stopped at Lindisfarne or Holy Island, where you can only get to the island at low tide and risked the possibility of getting marooned there as we did not check the tidal charts before we ventured out there.
All in all it was a very interesting coastal drive.
By the time we got to Whitby, however, a massive fog had fallen and sight seeing was non existant. We had a wonderful fish dinner at a whitby institution called Trenches...a huge hunk of haddock that even had KB beaten!
A problem with the brakes on the Discovery will probably mean a quiet day, but thats OK....the farm is a great place to stop!
