Day 17 Update

After a promising community talk in Berwick-upon-Tweed and a better than anticipated night’s sleep at the YHA, it was time to hit the road again. Day 17 took Lavinia, Harry and Paul further south along the coast, heading for Scarborough. Lavinia has now clocked up over 2,000 miles on this trip, a 100-year-old Talbot 14/45 still keeping up with the moderns! 

Lavinia, Harry and Paul first headed out of Berwick on the A1 towards Newcastle, getting a glimpse of the Angel of the North. In the afternoon, there was a stroke of serendipity. After missing a turning and ending up going down and across to Pickering in North Yorkshire, Lavinia, Harry and Paul called in at Mathewsons Classic Car Auctions. Derek Mathewsons from Bangers & Cash was actually there and spoke with Harry and Paul, taking some photos with Lavinia and sharing his knowledge. Harry and Paul also had a little trip about the museum. A brilliant way to end the day!
