Hartlepool Quays?

The quayside area in what used to be called West Hartlepool is quite compact so to extend the photographic interest it might well be worth a visit to the headland area as well, in the old part of Hartlepool, probably about a mile away. Many of the old terraced houses there are painted black and have colourful doors and window frames. And if there isn't thick fog there are extensive views across the Tees Estuary from here.

Not too far away is RSPB Saltholme link

I may not be able to make the meet guys, sorry!

I may be on my way home from Torquay if an unexpected chance of a holiday home comes off.

Does anyone fancy the sunday instead

PS: Nice shot David, I like how the height of the masts mirrors the heights of the buildings, was it deliberate?

Saturday or Sunday both are ok for me

Actually Barrie, I might still make it I was juggling a few ideas around earlier and realised the wife could come home with our son and daughter in law on the saturday leaving me to make a quick exit friday

TBH its still all in the lap of the gods though as I may be too knackered after driving up anyway.

But dont worry, I'll be taking the laptop and the Dongle so I'll be able to keep in touch

Splendid picture, Mr Trout. Really very good indeed.

Does Dongle belong in the beer thread

Its a while since I visited this conversation, good to see its still on course for Saturday March 6. (Hope you can make it Alan). The coffee shop at The Quays seems like a good place to meet. What about the time to meet? Is 10.30am OK? This would give more time for those who travel a distance, such as Northumberland or York or Leeds.
PS: Thanks for your compliment on my picture George.
Don't forget the puffins Helen and Ken can bring some of his spare goldfinches along.

OOPS, My wife has just pointed I can't be there that day. It's our grandson's first birthday party and we'll be in Halifax for that.
Sorry,
David

Is the Sunday any better? I can do either (puffins have openings in their diaries for either day )
Helen

We could make either day, not a problem.

I could do the Sunday, how's everyone else fixed?
david

Well the Saturday is definately out for me now, If theres enough interest for a second meet on the Sunday then count me in.

Anyone going up from Yorkshire need a lift?

Is it possible to add a poll to this thread?
