12 May 2026 Old Hartley
Another “weather day” so bus first thing for coffee and walk about in Whitley Bay. After lunch got the bike out and cycled up to Tynemouth to The Collinwood Monument.
A Grade II* listed monument in Tynemouth, dedicated to Vice Admiral Lord Cuthbert Collingwood. A Napoleonic-era admiral noted for being second-in-command to Admiral Lord Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar.
Just got there and boom heavy rain so back into the sunshine so carried on down to Blyth YES again rain coming so back to the site
and yes thunder and lightening and hail.
Did not cycle to the moon and back this trip as Nasa says new ET movie been filmed so stay away.
