| Beach Buoy and his matey; Stubborn Dog arrived in the Car Park around 7-08 a.m. A Cyclist screeched his brakes as he reach the Southern end of the Promenade to herald the start of today's Beach Walk. Beach Buoy jumped over the wall near the Dunes to access the Beach.... OK he staggered over the wall. |
 |
| They headed South. It was a Grey start to the day with a breeze from the South. The Car Parking charges had finished until April of next year so there was no 9 a.m. deadline to escape a parking ticket ; a slower stroll today. The 7 a.m. Club were down to the North, also heading South. Two crows hopped / flew short distances to keep ahead of Beach Buoy as they searched the Strand-line, as if he was guiding them South for the Winter. Eventually the Birds were having none of it and headed of as a pair to the Dunes to the West. The 7 a.m club caught up with the Strolling Two, at least some of them did. They had separated during their walk, two men and their dogs ahead of the three lady members of the regular walking group. The Large Friendly Poodle (Mari) has a male owner so she bounded over to Beach Buoy for her regular neck scratch. The humans exchanged "Morning." Beach Buoy headed over the North Gare Pier to the Blue Lagoon as the walking Club gathered and regrouped down at the North side of the Pier. |

| The Grasses down by The Blue Lagoon looked dramatic as they bent in the Strengthening Breeze. Beach Buoy had a mooch down by the River and did a Beach / River clean; blue sponge balls, disposable lighter; the usual post rough weather culprits. |
 |
| Then it was back to Hartlepool Bay. |
 |
| Stubborn Dog wears his Poppy with Pride... but poses reluctantly for a photograph. |
 |
| The Sun showed up and flashed some heat. It was time to go....... for now. BEACH BUOY. |
