A seaside adventure This family group are edging their way along the foot of the cliffs at Magdalene Fields at low tide. The exploration began with the young boy on the right, then the two girls, and eventually the mother was persuaded to join in the seaside scramble.

Is anybody in there? There are several caves along the foot of the cliffs at Magdalene Fields on the north side of Berwick-upon-Tweed. A low tide had allowed this youngster to wade across some large rock pools and gain entry to the mouth of the cave. I could sense his feeling of excitement and adventure as he gazed into the darkness of this natural hollow.
