Newcastle. Upon Tyne, not Under Lyme or Emlyn. I've never been. Neither has SWMBO. So we are thinking of a long weekend type break. Go either Friday or Saturday morning and return Monday or Tuesday. 2 full and one part day. Three nights. Maybe early November. Travelling by train, so no local transport other than the loacl metro, which doesn't get good reviews on this side of the country.
SWMBO wants nice interesting stuff to do and good places to eat at night. I want good photogenic stuff. Not interested in street/people photos. So what is there? I've heard of Lit and Phil and the riverside and bridges at night. What else is there that will keep us both happy bearing in mind that SWMBO might be nice and patient for my togging, but only up to a point. (Deffo not going to St. Mike Ashley's Park!).
Camera gear will be X100F - anything else would compromise domestic bliss. Tripod likely to be no more than a gorillapod.
Hotel not yet chosen but likely to be fairly close to train station/city centre.
Not interested in nightlife of pubbing/clubbing; we are too old for that scene.
Is it worth the effort? I know Liverpool well, and this length of stay would exhaust what is there for a tripper type trip, so is Newcastle better or worse?
Over to you....
