SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL 16, OCTOBER 2025.

 Thursday morning.

Beach Buoy, Borrowed Dog and Another Dog parked up in Seaton Park at 8-16.

They just  missed meeting up with Team One Black Ear.

They must cut through the Park on their way home.

They took the short walk to the beach.


They headed down to the beach via the beach access ramp up near to the Beach Huts.
The tide was well out.
There was a very light breeze from the south.


A lone sea swimmer swam just offshore, looking like a beach-lost football bobbing about on the surface of the sea.


The low tide meant lots of space for all.
Jackpot.


Beach Buoy and the two dogs headed southwards.


The first of eight yellow roses that were strewn along the strand-line.


Sea coal lines seemed to form a suggested track?


Repairs to North Gare Pier still on-going.

Beach Buoy was drawn to the wreck, near to the water's edge.



The Seaton Carew Wreck.
Well shore for now.

They made their way to Stubborn Dog Stack, collecting five suitable stones as they did so.


They arrived at 8-57.


"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.

He patted
THE
stone.

The dogs sat on the sand.
Beach Buoy sat the driftwood seat with an elevated view.

Differing reactions when you call their names...


"Walter!"


"Ruby!"
"Ruby!"
"Ruby!"


A dog barked.
The owner appeared from the south.
All was good.
That had never met before, but chatted as if the had.
The dog was a Beagle.
Oscar.

They regularly walk the same route.
Down the cinder path then north along the dune edge. 
Just usually on a different time zone to Beach Buoy.

Out in the bay, a Ship took aim for Stubborn Dog Stack.

Oscar and his owner used the big slope to drop down to the beach below.

"See you mate."
They too returned to the beach.


The Ship would soon turn to round the Wind Turbines, then head for the river.


Tugs waited to guide the ship into position.
Four in total would assist.


Beach Buoy and the dogs walked the water's edge.


The Hartlepool Boat that goes out to the Wind Turbines tied up alongside one of them.

A lady with a small dog and a squeaky toy headed south.


A lady sat in a folding chair, reading her book.
It was a bit of a strange place to set up camp.
She closed her book.
Folded up her chair.
She headed back to the car park.



Sea coal led the way to Seaton Park.

BEACH BUOY.
