Trip was good. Knackering but good. Excellent train journeys both ways.
@gad-westy came along on Tuesday afternoon and stayed till well after the first pint. He showed me round the town and river area. Went to Free Trade pub near Byker. Excellent. Can't thank Graham enough.
Wednesday I was on my own in town and got "picked up" by a local tog who also took me on a walk about. Finished up in an interesting gallery which I think was called Side. Then I came home for a rest.
Glad I've been. Never knew it was so steep up and down to the river. There's a few shots on my Flickr stream

Nothing out of the ordinary but new to me.
