I honestly love the coast around Whitley Bay, virtually all the way down to Seaham. I walked it once, via Sunderland and Shields. Smashing day out on the right day, like.

That's a long walk, i can only manage Whitburn to Sunderland city centre via Seaburn, Roker, Roker Park, Roker Marina, St Peters and then across the bridge.

Makes me sound lazy haha

The days when I could do that much are long gone.

Racked up over 15,000 steps today, according to my Fitbit. I bloody hurt (and would love to snap off a toe or two). I'll probably spend a fair bit of time out of the house tomorrow, too, as our house is pretty upside down - Husband cleared out the kitchen and put down self levelling compound, today. I'm currently sat next to the freezer

Self medicating with wine. And Augustus Pablo, it seems.

We had dinner at Harvester at the Metrocentre, btw. Not exciting, but a rare place where we all found food we could enjoy and it was quiet, given the time of year/day etc. Littl'un had fish goujons and fries, husband and big'un had a decent burger with fries, I had salmon with grilled pineapple and red pepper and dirty rice. The salad bar was very welcome, actually quite fresh and tasty, and what so many places are lacking.

(17 Jan 2017, 11:09 pm)Jimmi wrote Bloody hell, I can just about bare the 73 minute journey on the X21 from Newton Aycliffe to Seaham, don't think I'd fancy following that with several hours of walking! I'm sure it would be a nice walk though with lots of nice scenery.

I am hoping to start walking more once the weather starts to improve, about the longest I've done so far is just from my house to Heighington, which is just under a hour. May have to try and stretch my legs and walk much further, possibly walk to Darlington which takes two and a half hours (according to Google Maps). Just a pity there isn't that many routes round my way that I know of.

(22 Feb 2017, 10:36 pm)Jamie M wrote The charts change every 2 flippin seconds, so it's a pretty irrelevant system.

(23 Feb 2017, 9:36 pm)MurdnunoC wrote They're making a comeback later in the year; 23 years have passed since they deleted their entire back catalogue, burned a million pounds in the name of art, and swore not to comment upon it for a period of 23 years. They've kept their word.

Wouldn't mind seeing/hearing any new stuff just to compare to the old.

Just to get back to the BRITs. Sam Fox and Mick Fleetwood killed it.
