Chezsherman and I met up again for another Wednesday run. We decided to head out to the coast for a coffee and return on some twisties on the route back.
On the way I thought we'd have a trip to the Bentley showrooms to see some terrific interiors to find that I'd forgotten it was now the Harley dealership! Still an interesting stop. . . .
Bit of a different look to their carpark. . . .Then we took a look at North Shields Quay before calling at a nice vantage point where you can see down the Tyne
From there we visited Tynemouth - Chezsherman made comment on how many people were about and how it felt like a busy weekend or holiday. The weather was a little overcast but temperatures were high so shirt sleeves enough and it made for a very pleasant driving day.
Calling at St. Mary's Island I made a stop on the way out and took a shot over my shoulder (apologies for the quality at least I got the lighthouse in shot!)
Some nice admiring glances and even real interests in the Zed's when we got squeezed into the carpark at Blyth for our coffee stop.
Then a fairly clear run back via some twisties I know on the way to Morpeth and back to Newcastle past Kirkley Hall and Dinnington on some of my favourite back roads.
This is not every Wednesday but if anyone's free and fancies a run out on a Wednesday in the North East then give either myself or Chezsherman a pm.
