More like this one please! Got the train across the river Tyne and then a nice easy stretch to Roker, which is on the outskirts of Sunderland and surprisingly nice. Hats off to Tynemouth for also leaving a good impression on me, with its castle, priory and magnificent monument to some local chap (who took place in the battle of Trafalgar and lived to tell the tale). Was glad to leave Whitley Bay in the end, save for “The Fat Ox” pub, it’s all a bit sad really, with rather too many boarded up, and derelict beach front buildings, it looks a bit pitiful to be honest, and is even outshone by South Shields.
I’ve been sat up all night worrying about tomorrow, it’s 22 miles (absolute mimimum), and without a proper map for this part of the journey, I’m probably looking at a disaster here.
