Port of Tyne
On one side a recently built building with what seems like a huge helipad on top, on the other, the DFDS ferry to the Netherlands. It used to be possible to take ferry from here to Norway NZ3566 : Road to Norway but sadly (for those who would like to take a trailer full of sea kayaks to the far north) cheap air travel has put paid to that ferry, adding an extra 1300 kilometres to the drive. On our current journey, with the ebb tide from Derwenthaugh to South Shields, we've just rafted up to take a snack, as the sun has gone in and the wind is picking up a little, so a bit more energy is going to be needed to complete our trip.
