The 2 mile walk along the beach at Beadnell towards Dunstanburgh was one of the higjlights of the walk so far. It was the stunning and dynamic Northumberland Coast at it's best (jusdge for yourself--see pic). The thing which struck me more than anything was the sense of freedom on the beach. There were no signs or officials telling me what I must do, no demands for regulation life jackets, no admission nor commercialisation--just awsome nature at its best. I collapsed into a sand-dune and dialled up Nina Simone on the iPod with 'I Wish I Knew What it Would to be Free' and thought how sad that I was the only person on the 2 mile stretch of beach and conluded that we are so swamped with consumerism that we have ceased to trult appreciate things that are free.
