Long day out on Tyneside tomorrow (so long as I don't postpone this trip for what seems like the 100th time).

Still undecided about Saturday at the moment, originally I was thinking of doing a trip round County Durham then changed my plans to do a different trip round County Durham now I'm thinking of doing Hexham Huh

Really don't know what to do now, let's just see how I feel on Saturday.

Hexham is boring, got through one hour before losing interest.

Why not turn to trains?

I think Jimmi may have been considering having a little wander around the town centre while he was there...at the end of the day, it is a beautiful town.

I do actually like to explore when I head to new places, I decided to explore Ashington whilst I was there once - only really because I was wanting some scran after heading to the X21/X22 Sapphire launch.

I only been through it once when I headed to Carlisle on the 85/685 last year and looks nice.

Different people find different things interesting, chances are if I asked most of my friends if they wanted to go to Hexham they'd all probably say no but I will probably enjoy it when I go (whenever that may be) as I'll have my camera on hand for photos.

If it weren't for this hobby there has to be lots of places I would never have gone to had I not had an interest in this hobby examples: Ashington, Bedlington, Carlisle, Newbiggin Tynemouth and Washington.

A few places I don't think I would have visited had it not been for my hobby...

1) Gateshead - nothing really there that interests my family, so we wouldn't have gone in any case other than my hobby (which has always been solo).

2) Consett - again, nothing really there that interests us. Even Stanley is a rare visit, normally just to Asda!

3) Washington - once more, nothing at the Galleries for us.

The MetroCentre suits our needs, and is only 20-odd minutes from Chester-le-Street if the traffic isn't bad.

Also, my mam tends to do all of her shopping at Marks & Spencer at the Arnison Centre anyway.
