(05 Jul 2015, 6:18 pm)Malarkey wrote Jimmi you deserve some praise, travelling all the way from Newton Aycliffe to Whitley Bay, in terms of mileage covered you have done around 77 to 95 Miles, possibly more if you traveled into Darlington first, and on a Sunday too takes some doing mind, I found it a challenge just to get up this morning and motivate myself to do a 4 Hour round trip, eventually I did get to Whitley Bay but yourself, aureolin etc, Enthusiasts I usually talk to had already been and gone.

As for Shildon, I wouldnt even attempt that on a Sunday unless NEBPT were perhaps offering to take people up for a small fee if any fee at all picking up at Heworth or Gateshead, or perhaps even Washington Services, otherwise it would take around 3 Hours to get there, and same to get back depending on times of Buses etc.

Thanks!

Didn't have to go to Darlington thankfully but was was certainly a lot of milage covered today by myself.

Me and aureolin both left around 1310 and got the 309 to Newcastle which went past the 308 you would have been on.

Despite living so near Shildon is a pain for myself as there is only one 5A an hour and the train only runs every two hours and leaves Shildon at roughly the same time as the 5A.

Next to upload yesterday's photos to Flickr, at least my headache has gone off.
