Woke up at 0300 by lots of people using the shower block found out they were here for The Chase the Sun cycle event starting at 0430 at Tynemouth and finishing in Aberdeen. Also a second cycle event I passed on my way to Blyth The Seahouses to Tynemouth.
Cycle into Tynemouth and back through Whitley Bay for a coffee NO NOT THE MOON AND BACK but I did pass a shop that had a name that suited my personality.
On my way back spotted some yarn bombing that suited the shop it was outside.
3 times i cycled down to Blyth to see what was happening at the free music festival it was fantastic to see such a good community show. The Bay City Rollers act was on at some point. and a group called D:Ream. (Things Can Only Get Better)
Fun fair was just been set up.
Festival early then later in the day.
A good day again.
If you have had a cold swim this is near the beach at weekends.
Bus into town this morning for coffee n shopping spotted some lovely poppies by the bus stop even managed to get a bee coming in to land. click image for BIG.
Had a cycle into Whitley Bay for a look round yes I know all types of friends all over.
After lunch a cycle down to Blyth they are just setting up for a free open air concert for tomorrow with a top band may be worth a visit at some time.

Cycle across the tees barrage into Stockton and down to Thornaby not been before. I think I have cycled all these bridges.
Thornaby up and down.
I saw them painting this yesterday lovely.
An hour drive up through the Tyne Tunnel decided to do some washing but was held up for a while due to an accident on site a caravan shot down the site taking its owner with it and came to rest on the side of a motorhome with him underneath it. !hr 5mins later an ambulance arrived not to badly hurt but took away in the Ambulance. Not much else going on its started raining. UGH!
Headed into Scarborough on the bike but started to rain so turned and went to Filey for a coffee.
A long drive so left the site at 1100 but due to road closed again was closed 1 month ago so took me 21/2 hours for a 1hour 25 mins trip. On arrival pointed to the pitch I wanted to save coming back for the barrier card the warden told me the pitch number gave me the card and on arriving on the pitch she had got the number wrong so had to go back to change the card ###
After lunch a cycle into Stockton the picture below is to open this weekend its took forever to build. I got told off for cycling on the cycle path ###
Tree shadows with no trees.
The second site with these must be a new theme
On site flowers lovely
Another cycle after tea down to the transporter Bridge at Middlesbrough.
Fond memories of a lady (thank you Julia) that gave me an idea to do this drawing last year.
Had a shock when I looked up and saw the below thought I had took another wrong turn not due in Stirling for a couple of weeks.!!!!
Cycle into Brid. before my 28 mins. drive up to Scarborough arrived just in time to have the grass cutter driving round and round near my pitch how lucky on such a big site. ####
A cycle into Filey in the afternoon.
A good view had many a good time diving on old wrecks (ships) on the Brig.
