| NO BEACH TONIGHT! WENT OUT ON I CYCLE RIDE. IT WAS I RIDE I FIRST DID MANY MANY MANY YEARS AGO OF THE VILLAGES SCATTERED AROUND HARTLEPOOL. THERE ARE SOME STEEP CLIMBS, SO I WAS GLAD OF A CHOICE OF GEARS. MY THOUGHTS WENT BACK TO A CHILDHOOD FRIEND WHO USED TO DO THIS RIDE WITH A RALEIGH CHOPPER... WITH THE LIMITED RANGE OF THREE GEARS. |
 |
| LOOKING DOWN ONTO HARTLEPOOL AND TEES BAYS FROM UP IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| An Evening walk. It pleases me to see home made seats on the Beach; made from driftwood etc. |
 |
| Sea Pottery. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| An Evening walk with two Dogs tonight. The tide was on the way out but still quite high. |
 |
| I love it when the Sea and Sky are contrasting colours. |
 |
| Some nice flowery sea pottery. |
 |
| The waves and wind seemed to have picked up momentum as we headed back. |
 |
| Some nice sea glass. |
 |
| Some recent Seaton Carew Sea glass finds. |
 |
| Other recent finds. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| An Evening walk. The Sky to the North was Dark; to the South it was brighter but there was a strangeness about the light tonight. |
 |
| A ribbon off a Balloon is tangled around some seaweed.... it tangles just as easily around Bird's legs! |
 |
| Lots of differing breeds of seabirds lined the Beach; pecking away at the sand. It was odd to see so many together; many stood on the water's edge as if looking to see what the next wave had delivered. |
 |
| A couple of Fishermen; regulars I think? |
 |
| Headed Back. |
 |
| It was a scene of contrasting colours as I left the water's edge. |

| Hello to all who read this. If you are a regular reader of the blog or just ended up here via some odd internet search. I went onto the Beach around 6 -30 a.m. I went on the Beach lots as a child and teenager with my Father..Many times we would get the only Sun of the day. He would say on the way home that we had " The best part of the Day." He was right. |
 |
| After the Beach I cycled along the Esplanade to Hartlepool Marina. |
 |
| My Bike. |
 |
| Not my Bike! |
