SEATON SANDS HARTLEPOOL. 20 OCTOBER 2025.

 Tuesday morning.

Beach Buoy, Borrowed Dog and Another Dog headed for the beach.

They had parked up in  nearby Seaton Park.

Beach Buoy gave a flash of the van's headlights to Team Black Ear as they were heading home.

Beach walk done.

A distant wave was returned.

Mr.Gunn/Lunn's car was nearby.


The bright Sun had been shining since around 7-45.

They crossed the Esplanade.
It was a short walk.
The Village Church Bells rang for 8-15 as they wandered down the beach access ramp.
The ramp is near the colourful beach huts.

A lady with a red hooded coat had gone down the ramp just before them.
She walked to the sea, turned right and headed south alongside the water.



To the north, Brass Monkey Swimmers had gone to sea.

No screams today.


They headed south.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.

The man with rearranged meetings marched north.


The Sun's light reflected on sea front windows.
One window had the glass missing.
The upstairs one was gone.
Pigeons have claimed the roof space as theirs.
They can be seen on the roof, enjoying the early morning heat.


They headed for the wreck, over rippled sands.

Beyond the dunes, Cows mooed from not  too distant fields.


The wreck today.


A Gull rested on a ship timber.


The wreck today...


Work still in progress on North Gare Pier.
The Mobile Crane resembling a large insect.


The Sea Serpent Marker.

They all headed to the low level route.

"Morning Mate."

He added the five suitable stones.

He patted 

THE

stone.

He had a stand and think.

A pleasant breeze blew across from the dunes.

"See you mate."

They returned to the low level route.


They headed back to the Village.

Two ladies and their Border Collie, more white than black headed south.

A distant dog barked to the south.

Two men headed south with a dog and ball launcher.
Typically, on such a vast and spacious beach, the launched ball was a near miss.

The red-hooded lady returned to the Village.

Up on the Esplanade, Beach Buoy met Mr. Gunn/Lunn and Excellent Dog Alfie.

They chatted as they returned to their vehicles together.

SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL. 20, OCTOBER 2025.



Monday morning.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog arrived at 6-43.
About an hour to sunrise.
An Esplanade Cyclist and his bright light disappeared across the darkness of the car park.

Two men walked south along the dark Esplanade.
They were about fifty metres apart.
They looked so similar, in the darkness at least, they could be twins.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed down the beach access ramp.


With matching green flashing lights, they set off towards the barely visible sea.
A distant dog barked.
It's distant light flashed, bright white.


It was so very mild.
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.


The last star to shine before light came was over above the river.
Maybe it was a Planet?


The last Star to shine.


They made their way to the low level route.


7-10.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.
He patted
THE
stone.

He had a sit and think.

"See you mate."

They returned to the beach below.


They returned to the north.


Hugo.
The dog with one black ear.
Such a gentle and pleasant dog.

They headed back with Team One Black Ear, chatting.

The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple led the way.

Up near the access ramp they stopped to chat to Mr. Gunn/Lunn.


Mr.Gunn/Lunn and excellent dog Alfie headed for the rising Sun.

Sunday morning.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog arrived at 7-52.

Beach Buoy chatted to the Litter Pick Lady before setting off for the beach.


There was a light mild breeze from the south west.
The tide was well out, the wreck was well ashore.
There was a hint of peach in a grey blue sky.

It was a milky coloured type of morning.


Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.

A figure was way to the south.
It could be Team One Black Ear?
Beach Buoy couldn't see Milo trotting around.

Back to the north a figure stood pondering the wreck.


A man and his black dog walked from the dunes to the beach.
They headed south.
The dog seemed friendly enough.

The man had a lot of time for his dog.

It was good to see.


A Ship headed for the river.


The lady who walks the full length of the beach had not long started the return journey.

In time, Beach Buoy reached the figure to the south.

It was Team One Black Ear.

Milo the Borrowed Dog had gone home.


The Ship passed the Wind Turbines as it reached the river mouth.


Rays of light spread out over Saltburn.


As Beach Buoy chatted to Team One Black Ear, a couple armed with marker flags headed for the low level route.

"Morning."

"Morning."

"Morning."

They continued chatting.

The very very wet retriever appeaered.

It dropped a yellow and Blue Scooby Doo Ball at Beach Buoy's feet.

It's owner gave a distant wave as he passed.

Beach Buoy threw the ball in his general direction.

Beach Buoy was honoured as the owner had told him the dog won't give the ball to anyone else.

The dog is as grand as it is wet... and that's a lot.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed to the low level route.


The flag people were up near Stubborn Stack.


They reached the stack.
The flag people were wandering through the dunes, placing their markers.


8-24.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.
He patted 
THE
stone.

He had a sit and think on the driftwood seat with an elevated view.

Two ladies headed north.

One wore a swirling coat.


A Man with a rucksack passed by just below Stubborn Dog Stack.

He didn't notice Beach Buoy or Another Dog.


"See you mate."
They had a malfunction.
Another Dog seemed to want her photograph taken before moving on./


"Ready for my close up..."


Some of the dune marker flags.

They walked the low level route.

An arrow marker pointed north.


They returned to the north.


Two horse riders headed north.

Two More came down the ramp.
Beach Buoy lifted Another Dog up on the sloping wall and signalled for them to pass by.
"Thank you."


They too headed north.


Up on The Esplanade, lots of horse boxes.
Three ladies sat at a table with a clipboard.
Beach Buoy went over to ask what the event was, just for the blog.
One of the ladies went on the defensive.
"The Council know that we are here."
He let them know that he was just curious not furious.
"Endurance Race."
"Thank you."

Beach Buoy did some research.
