Tynemouth Coast

Two days ago during a visit to Newcastle, my wife and I got the metro out to Tynemouth for a looksie, I wrote about it here.

This page shows some of the photos I took. The photo above shows the Victorian columns at Tynemouth station. The next two show the view along Longsands towards Cullercoats.

There were a number of surfers in the bay; there is a surfing school here.

Far out to sea there where two ships. Using my camera on full zoom with a bean bag to support it, I managed to get the next two shots.

At the Tynemouth end of the bay, there is the Tynemouth Outdoor Pool. As you can see, it’s in a sorry state. However, the Friends of the Tynemouth Outdoor Pool are hoping to restore it. If you look out to sea, you can just make out the tanker in the above photo!

As you can see in the photos below, it was a very gloomy day. The first photo shows a boat leaving the River Tyne for the open sea. The second photo shows the boat approaching the tanker.

King Edwards bay with the castle above it.

Just as we reached the centre of town it started to rain. The photo shows the clock tower with the castle behind it.

By the time we got to the clock tower, it was raining heavily, so we went for a coffee. After the coffee we decided to go to the Tynemouth Lodge Hotel, it was promising more rain, and we were a little tired from the walk. I will be returning next year to complete the photos of the coast at Tynemouth.
