A meet up with Captain Pugwash at Barton Airport, Manchester and off we shot to chase and catch up with a fellow pilot from Barton.
The route was to Bolton, then over the Peninnes into Yorkshire and across to the Northumberland coast.
We had a landing at Eshott Airfield, a former training centre for Spitfire pilots, It was a quick stop over for a mug of coffee and a loo break.
The return journey took us across into the Scottish borders and back home to Manchester via the English Lake District.
A lot of photos taken of the journey, most I will save for another day - so here is Northumberland in all its glory.
