SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL 13-07-16.

An Evening walk, the tide was quite a way out but had turned and was heading back in.

Out at sea the clouds opened and the rain fell down, it was Sunny and there were hints of rainbows in the Sky.

A patch of rocks had been uncovered by the shifting beach.
ABOVE: A bottle neck was trapped in the rocks; sadly no top on it.

BELOW : the stem of a clay pipe is uncovered.

The Shadows.

SALTBURN BEACH 10-07-16.. Beach No.27 out of a target of 52 for the year.

Reached the halfway mark now in my quest for 52 different beaches in a year; trouble is it is the seventh month.
It started really well as we weren't working much overtime at work, so the weekends were mine to do as I wished , which meant beach and beach. I've no doubt I will get to 52.

Saltburn is a nice place to visit, in fact one of our younger group members said that it was just about the best beach / seaside town he had been to. "All it needs is a Haven campsite up on the cliff and it would be perfect." He said.
I think it is just fine as it is.

In the distance is Redcar and onto Seaton Carew.

The lovely Pier and Cliff Lift.

The Saltburn yarn bombers place knitted scenes along the Pier.
This year the theme is Yorkshire.
In the past the have celebrated 150 years of Alice in Wonderland, The World Cup, The Queen's Jubilee and London Olympics.

The Women's Institute.

David Hockney Tribute.

Looks like this Old Dumper Truck is used to take the boats to Sea.

07-07-16 SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL....

It was a Bucket and Spade visit to the Beach with the Italians...

I minded the bags and Dogs and laid back to see what I could make from the shapes of the clouds.
What do you see?

I often sit and wonder what he is thinking when he sits and looks out to Sea. I like to think he loves the Sea almost as much as I do,

The family played and came back to base camp.

The following night I waxed the beach found wooden pulley.
It looks OK as a sea marble holder.
Things like this please me.

TATE HILL BEACH AND WHITBY SANDS, WHITBY 29-06-16 Beaches 25 & 26 out of a target of 52 for the year.

The Family stand to the left of Capt. Cook.
My daughter said Whitby is one of her favourite places.

The view across to Tate Hill Beach.
In 1855 a ship called Dimitry of Narnia ran aground here.
Bram Stoker visited Whitby and used the wreck as an inspiration for his book Dracula. The book was published two years later in 1857; he changed the ship's name to Demeter of Varna.

The Piers at the Mouth of the River Esk at Whitby.

Whitby swing bridge constructed by Heenan & Froude; they also built Blackpool Tower.
My Father once spent the night underneath it, repairing it when it had broken down. I seem to remember him saying it was a Stormy night.

Across the Esk.

The rain started not long after this picture.

He loves the Beach... any Beach.

Him too.

We were here.

A Coble goes out to sea.

We headed back to the West side a after lunch at a Dog friendly Cafe. 

It was raining, the tide was up but I had to claim Whitby Beach for one of my 52 for the year.

The view to Sandsend.

It was wet. Capt. Cook still had a Seagull on his head.
