MIDDLETON BEACH 15 11 15.

I WENT TO MIDDLETON BEACH WITH 2 DOGS.
THE TIDE WAS LOW AND AS MUCH AS I HATE IT ... I HAD TO TIME MY BEACH VISIT.
MY TEAM ; HARTLEPOOL UNITED WERE GOING TO BE ON TV. THIS MEANT AN UNUSUAL KICK OFF TIME; SUNDAY 12-15pm !
ABOVE IS THE VIEW ACROSS THE PORT TO HARTLEPOOL'S HEADLAND.



 THE SMALL PATCH OF SAND SHOWN TO THE LEFT , BELOW  THE TOWN WALL IS KNOWN AS THE FISH SANDS. THE AREA BEHIND THE WALL IS THE CROFT AREA. IN YEARS GONE BY THIS AREA WAS ALL ALLEYS AND PASSAGES A LITTLE LIKE WHITBY OR ROBIN HOOD'S BAY. THE POWERS THAT BE FLATTENED IT ALL AND BUILT ON TOP.

THE LOW TIDE MEANT ROCK POOLS AND IT IS ALWAYS NICE TO SEE SOME POOL LIFE.

AS I HAVE SAID IN THE PAST, BEACHCOMBING ETC IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT AT TIMES WITH THESE TWO STRAPPED TO ME.

LOW TIDE AT MIDDLETON BEACH, HARTLEPOOL.

LOTS OF SAND HAD WASHED AWAY, LEAVING ROCKS, GRAVEL AND HOPEFULLY FINDS.
