| It was a glorious day in Newcastle so I took the Metro from Longbenton to Whitley Bay and walked along the cost about 4 miles to Tynemouth. This is St. Mary's lighthouse just north of Whitley Bay. There has been huge improvements to Whitley Bay with a complete renovation of the old Spanish City. It is looking much classier but there are still empty derelict hotels in places but the overall picture is of a seaside resort fighting back. |

| Just next to the harbour at Cullercoats is this lovely display of Crocuses |

| Tynemouth beach was very busy despite a cold wind blowing which proves just how tough the Geordies are. It was a very pleasant walk and at Tynemouth Metro station there was a smashing market with loads of interesting stalls. If you add the mile walk each way from Fiona's house to the Metro I did 6 miles in very pleasant weather. |
