Saltburn, Marske and New Marske

Moving down the coast we caused havoc in Alnwick - we went in search of a filling station and the GPS took us down the main street - unfortunately at the end of it there is a very low arched and ancient entry/exit point into the town. In theory it offered 15mm clearance for Hazel to get through and A was not prepared to get stuck. We reversed gingerly back along the very busy high street and with a bit of help from a friendly local managed to turn round and escape around the town another way.
