BEACH BUOY.

16, JUNE 2026. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.

 

Another Dog was comfy, but there was a walk and work to be done...

The other day someone had removed one of the confusing dog ban signs.

Beach Buoy took it home for safe keeping.

He made some colourful and useful additions to the sign.

You are here, ramp and car park locations.

Oh and location of the sea!1

Reattached.

Hopefully non locals will understand that it is ok to go down the ramp to the beach beyond.

The sign showing the Dog Ban Zone Area was confusing thanks to it's rotation.

Beach Buoy had to explain to a passer-by just what he was up to at 5-45 a.m.

Someone had done a beachclean.

There would be more to do...

They headed to the beach.

It was still before 6 a.m.

 Beach Buoy collection five suitable stones.

There was a breeze from the east.

The tide had not long turned from high.

Up to the south, Team One Black Ear were heading back to the north.

They stopped to chat.

Team One Black Ear had done a beachclean.

  A dodgy-looking cardboard box just about held a collection of glass bottles.

They sent their separate ways.

A forlorn shout.

The box has given up the ghost.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked the low level route.

He added two Sturdy Stones to the sea defence.

They climbed the small slope.

"Morning Mate."

It was 6-22.

Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.

He patted 

THE

stone.

He scattered some seeds for the Crows.

They had a sit and a think.

"See you mate.'

They continued southwards, in search of the "Sturdy Driftwood Bench."

Unusually, Another Dog led the way.

The North.

Some of the dunes to the south had been damaged by fire.

Onwards to Sand Martin Corner.

Jackpot!

There it was.

To the west more burnt areas.

The Sturdy Driftwood Bench.

With an excellent view.

Even Another Dog seemed to like it.

They sat a while watching the Sand Martins swoop around the curve of Sand Martin Corner.

They would return.

A half-height giant pencil.

Back to the Stack...

North and South Gare at the mouth of the Tees 

Wabbit Twacks.

The walkway through the Grey Rocks.

Ruby was still quite keen.

Beach Buoy hammered the half-height into the sand alongside the stack.

"See you mate."

They returned to the north.

Bottle Bank?

Sandy Dune bank.

Some even left unopened.

He began a beachclean.

Dylan the dog passed by.

Distant waves were shared.

Bottles unopened too.

Ice pack blocks in picnic bag.

Beach Buoy stopped to chat to Mr.Gunn/Lunn and Excellent Dog Alfie.

Beach-cleaned.

57 glass bottles.

22 cans.

1 plastic bag.

2 rucksacks.

1 picnic bag with freezer blocks.

1 handbag.

BEACH BUOY.

Monday morning.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached Sandy Car Park at 5-58 a.m.

Rays of sunlight splayed out along the horizon.

Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones as sea swimmers headed to the water's edge.

The tide was well in.

There was a breeze from the north.

Sea swimmers in preparation.

Team One Black Ear were to the South.

The sea swimmers took the plunge.

The lady with a red coat and a brown dog called Jasper were heading south with a friend.

Beach Buoy stopped to chat to Team One Black Ear.

A red coat and a brown dog called Jasper went by.

"Morning."

"Morning."

"You play out on the wing!"

Skylarks sang above the dunes as they began to walk the low level route.

 Beach Buoy collected two sturdy stones.

He placed them on the sea defence.

"Morning Mate."

It was 6-34.

Up on the height of the dunes, the breeze felt more north east.

He added five suitable stones.

He patted 

THE

stone.

He scattered some seeds for the Crows to enjoy later.

They had a sit and a think.

Beach Buoy watched waves run along North Gare Pier like curtains were being drawn.

"See you mate."

Back to the low level route.

Back to the beach.

The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple were heading north to south, searching shingle strips as they progressed.

A man and his Spaniel went from dune to sea.

The lady who walks the full length of the beach passed by.

"Morning."

"Morning."

Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the access ramp.

Dylan the Dog came tumbling down.

"Morning."

"Morning. It's supposed to be dune!"

Up on the Esplanade Beach Buoy chatted to one half of Team Muzzled Dog and Mr. Gunn/Lunn.

Beach Buoy quizzed Mr.Gunn/Lunn about the driftwood bench that he had mentioned.

"It is up on the edge, right near the Pier. It's sturdy. I've had a sit in it."

Sturdy?

Beach Buoy must locate it...

Paul.

The dog with one black ear.

Sunday Afternoon...
