Day 1 - Friday 5th Feb Tynemouth to the Millennium Bridge

It rained! A lot - light but a lot and by the time we got to the end we were very wet indeed!

It was nearly 13 miles and took us all day but it was surprisingly interesting despite the rain!

list alert!!

The highlights:

• Cliffords Fort
• Royal Quays Marina (it has a lock!! - boating not turning in keyhole!)
• The Pedestrian Tunnel (altho not the works associated with the 2nd Tyne Tunnel)
• The Hawthorn Leslie Site
• Bill Quay Community Farm
• Kittiwake Towers and
• The end!!!

Oh yes! and the pub - the very wonderful Cricketers in Bill Quay - they took us in - made us warm and dry and provided Real Ale! Amazing we ever finished the walk really.

And we used public transport to get to and from the start/finish. Not a car between us!!

So over to Nigel for Day 2 - the Millennium Bridge to Wylam Station.
