HARTLEPOOL NORTH SANDS. 28-02-16 BEACH No. 14 out of a Target of 52 for the year.

THIS WALK STARTED BACK NEAR MIDDLETON  AT HARTLEPOOL MARINA AS THE DAUGHTER AND HER FAMILY WANTED LUNCH.
LOTS OF FOOD OUTLETS AND BOATS TOO.
I HAD THE CAR TAILGATE OPEN TO SHOW THE DRIFTWOOD AND  SEA GLASS  HANGER .

BOATS.

MARINA FLATS AND FOOD OUTLETS.

WE THEN DROVE OVER TO THE NORTH SANDS ON THE HEADLAND. THE WHITE DOTS IN THE DISTANCE ARE THE CARAVAN PARK AT CRIMDON.



A COUPLE OF FISHERMEN AS THE TIDE GOES OUT.

RUINED FACTORY PIER.


THE PIER IS GOOD FOR PHOTOGRAPHS.

WEST.

EAST OUT TO SEA.



NORTH TOWARDS CRIMDON , HORDEN, SEAHAM AND SUNDERLAND.

WE CLIMBED UP THE BANK TOP TO THE SPION KOP CEMETERY. NEW HOUSES ARE BEING BUILT HERE.


MY GREAT GRANDFATHER IS BURIED UP HERE, AS ARE MANY OTHERS OF MY RELATIVES. WE FOUND HIS GRAVE AND A RELATIVE MADE THE MARKER.

BLURRY BEACH CLEAN, IT'S NOT A "FINDS" BEACH  WE GOT ONE POT SHARD AND FOUR SEAGRASS PIECES.
IT IS MORE OF  STROLL AND DOG BEACH.
BEST ENJOYED IF IT IS AN OUTGOING TIDE.

BEACH BUOY.
