From Whitley Bay to North Shields

As a change this week we are walking in Northumberland and staying at our Fiona's in Newcastle before our big walk on Wednesday. Tom & Peter joined me in High Heaton at lunch time and we headed out to Whitley Bay and parked at the Metro Station before walking to North Shields and then returning on the Metro. This photograph is Tom and Peter before they tried an extreme sport on Tynemouth beach.

And this is them surfing.

This is the old open air swimming pool at Tynemouth. There is a plan to raise money and turn it into a heated pool using thermal energy so with a bit of luck they will succeed and it will be a great success.

These cannons were guarding a memorial to Admiral Collingwood at the entrance to the River Tyne


A lady stopped us and said how much she liked Peter and Toms pink hats. They are now very worried about their image.


This is the monument complete with cannons guarding the entrance to the river Tyne so the Geordies can sleep well they are well protected.
