15, FEB. 2025. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.


Just Beach Buoy and Another Dog today.
Saturday.
They parked in Sandy Car Park behind the golf club.
It was 7-21 a.m.
It had been a while.
They've been using Seaton Park Car Park recently.
It was overcast, as it had been for a good few days.
There had been flakes of snow before midnight.
A Council worker in a red wooly hat emptied one of The Esplanade's bins into his truck.
"Morning."
"Morning."


Beach Buoy and Another Dog headed down the access ramp.


They headed south.
The wreck was still at sea.
It was another grey day.
The Bay's Wind Turbines were almost invisible.
The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple were already heading home.



A very very wet retriever.
He dropped his ball for Beach Buoy to kick as they passed.
"Morning."
"Morning."

Two sea swimmers headed back to the car park.


A Lone Oyster Catcher walked the water's edge like a recently wound clockwork toy.


The Sea Serpent Marker.

Beach Buoy realised how short this walk was now.
 He had been parking to the north in Seaton Park.

They left the water's edge.
Off to the low level route.
Off to Stubborn Dog Stack.


"Morning Mate."
It was around 7-52 a.m.
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted 
THE
stone.
He sat on the driftwood plank with plenty of rust.


Beach Buoy watched a Parcel of Oyster Catchers on the beach below.


Beach Buoy checked to the north.

Beach folk and their beach dogs passed by on the beach below.

Peaceful.


Another Dog sat, on guard.

"See you mate."
They returned along the low level route.
Team Muzzled Dog were down on the beach below.
They had an excellent chat.
They went their separate ways.

Dotty Dog and her mam were heading south.
Another excellent chat.
They went their separate ways.


Beach Buoy and Another Dog ambled back to the north.
He had forever.

He passed the van at 8-27 but kept heading south.
More steps.
More beach.


The Seaton Carew Wreck was just coming ashore.

The man who once had a Beagle came over with his Spaniel.
They walked towards Station Road Access Ramp as they chatted.
"Do you have a disabled badge for parking?"
Beach Buoy must ambling a bit too slowly ?
They went their separate ways.
One slightly more confused than the other.

Random male joggers were running around as though they needed the toilet.
One did.
He stopped to Pee up The Esplanade Wall.


The new toilets.
Eight still with 
"NOT IN USE."
signage.

Well afterall, The Esplanade Wall is always available!


 A new venture.
COASTAL CABIN.

BEACH BUOY.
