On 30th June there is a full moon, called the “Strawberry moon”, weather permitting we’ll see it in all its glory. The datum route follows the England coastal path, though on that evening, sunset is at 21:53 and low tide at 22:11, which means we’ll be able to walk from Bamburgh to Beadnell mostly on the beach. High tide at Warkworth will be around 04:45, we should be approaching there at around 07.00 to 08.00, so we may be able to finish the Alnmouth to Warkworth section on the beach. The first stop will be on Beadnell pier, 2nd stop at Dunstanburgh Castle 3rd stop at Boulmer and 4th stop (if required) at Alnmouth. Please ensure that you bring along a head torch, we should be walking in full dark for about 4-5 hours
