Photography: couple of days in Gateshead

St Mary's Island, Whitley Bay

Finally, Mia. Miaow... or rather, Not!

 

This is pretty much what I do now...

 

All Stretton

Couple nights camping a mile north of Church Stretton, ostensibly to walk the north-south ridgeway of hills immediately to the east of the town - The Lawley, Caer Caradoc, & Helmuth - it was too hot & we couldn't be arsed! 

So, we enjoyed the great views from Barn Field Farm, took some easy walks around the site, & loved the leisurely stroll to the delicacies on offer in Little Switzerland (pork & fidget pies, good olives, & great cake!) There's a railway station too, with line passing close to the camping field... & I love the sound of a choo-choo!

We'll go back for that big, strenuous stride...

but to keep our bits in order, we took a lovely walk up & around Rectory Wood - 

it kept us out of the blazing sun for one thing - & it was good!

All in all, a lovely day in some lovely places; an evening, & drinks, on a lovely campsite; a decent night's kip on us lovely futon (told you... middle class fkrs!)

We shall do this again... but after the bleedin' school holliers... home James!
