Into Newcastle and onward

The night I spent in Seaham was fantastic, the people of the crows nest were all so amazing and even after I pitched the tent outside and tried to get to sleep I was still being talked to by the locals. When I awoke in the morning of made my way back to see Biff as by the maps comand to get a tattoo. Biff did a wonderful job even through my wiggling and squrming around

He said he will do the back half when I come back if I can handle it lol. From seaham I was given a lift by Dave to the Angle

Under her I sat and had lunch

Not long after I found myself crossing the Tyne bridge into Newcastle

(This is not the Tyne bridge but is the view of the old swing bridge from along it) Newcastle is such a beautiful city with so much art all around and such wonderful buildings it was easy to enjoy the walk.

I was trying to make my way to the Cumberland arms without much luck then I met 3 lovely gents that gladly showed me the way (via the Tyne bar). The wrighting on my map said stay at the cumberland arms, unfortunatly they were full for the weekend, so my plan was to sleep outback. Everyone was warning me against it and this made me more than a little paranoid. In the end a nice lad Dolly

put me up for the night.

Saturday,
Lots of things to do in Newcastle so I started by trying Macmillan, with no joy (but that was a bit of wishful thinking) next was the stateside diner, the Oreo milkshake was divine

Then back to the cumberland

This time I did sleep out the back and very well too.

Sunday,
After meeting in such a nice Quaker building, a friend (Douglas) alowed me use of his garden. Along with feeding me and generaly being the most generous hoast he could have been. I was given a ride across town back to the macmillan offices where I picked up a new tshirt and started the mission along the river to Tynemouth stopping to watch the eye open

Then to top up my water at a pub formally the wincolmee meeting some nice guys, and finally at the Albion just to have a rest and hide from the rain. It was in her I met Barry, Helen and Ross who were all so nice and helped me to achieve the next challenge on the map have fish & chips at Marshals

Biff, Dave, Graeme, Denise, Julie, Chloe, Eyvonne from Seaham,
