20 June 2026 Old Hartley

Woke up at 0300 by lots of people using the shower block found out they were here for The Chase the Sun cycle event starting at 0430 at Tynemouth and finishing in Aberdeen. Also a second cycle event I passed on my way to Blyth The Seahouses to Tynemouth.

Cycle into Tynemouth and  back through Whitley Bay for a coffee NO NOT THE MOON AND BACK but I did pass a shop that had a name that suited my personality.

On my way back spotted some yarn bombing that suited the  shop it was outside.

3 times i cycled down to Blyth to see what was happening at the free music festival it was fantastic to see such a good community show. The Bay City Rollers act was on at some point. and a group called D:Ream. (Things Can Only Get Better)

Fun fair was just been set up.

Festival early then later in the day.

A good day again.

If you have had a cold swim this is near the beach at weekends.
