11, JAN. 2026. SEATON SANDS HARTLEPOOL.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog had gone to the beach early.

It was dark, windy and raining.

Another Dog refused to walk.

Walk called off.

Beach Buoy returned on his own on the afternoon.

He parked in Seaton Park Car Park.

He reached the beach at 1-52. 

An icy wind blew from the south west.

The tide was well out.

Lots of shifting sand.

It was a good call, not bringing Another Dog.

A few people and dogs were scattered around.

Beach Buoy headed to the Seaton Carew Wreck.

A Crow was the only crew member.

It balanced in the strong wind.

Beach Buoy put some seeds inside thew wreck where one of the timbers offered some protection.

The wind was so cold and strong it felt like walking uphill when walking into the headwind.

He collected five suitable stones.

Beach Buoy had one eye shut.

50% less chance of getting some wind-blown sand in your eye if one was closed.

The dunes did offer some protection.

The low level route felt calm.

"Afternoon mate."

It was 2-31.

Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.

He patted

THE

stone.

No Crows this afternoon.

"See you mate."

Before heading down the small slope, Beach Buoy left some seed up near the Stack.

It was a doddle heading back with a tail wind.

Beach Buoy did a beach clean as he returned to the north.

Team Muzzled Dog stopped to chat.

It was their second beach walk of the day.

The chat was sponsored by the word 

BALTIC!

It was very chilly.

Beach Buoy passed the Bus Station Clock Tower as the Village Church Bells rang for 3 p.m.

Spots of rain began to fall.
