On my visits to Newcastle, I’m always drawn to the ever changing face of the River Tyne. The stretch that I walk along is tidal and wide as it’s only13 miles from the sea. Its south bank is dominated by the famous 1709ft long Dunstan Staithes, used until the 1970s to load coal onto transport ships, with the north side, housing a cycle way and footpath that runs along the footprint of former factories.
Be the tide in or out, the weather grey or sunny, the river flowing endlessly to the sea always brings a smile to my face.
