inclined.
Sunday 17th February
Coastal walk and Ferry trip - Start Chichester Metro Station 10 am - Finish
Monkseaton Metro Station - about seven miles walking urban and beachfront
along the cold North Sea with the wind coming straight in from Siberia so
wrap up warm but the scenery and seabirds are worth it. We will pause on
route in at least one pub. Duration about four hours. It takes about half
an hour by Metro from central Newcastle or Jesmond to Chichester and the
same to get back to Newcastle from Monkseaton. Get a day rover ticket £3
which covers all metro and ferry fares but there will be a bus fare from
Chichester Metro to Souter Point as well. We will walk from one lighthouse
(Souter Point) to another (St Mary's Island) along the coast and beaches.
There are bail-out points en route for those who want to do just part of
this e.g. from South Shields Metro half way and Tynemouth Metro two thirds
of the way. We can eat Fish and Chips on the Fish Quay but there are other
options for grabbing a snack on the way.

Careful with Newcastle accommodation on this as it includes places right
out in the country - go for NE1 to NE11 postal codes or Whitley Bay. The
Gateshead and Whitley Bay addresses are fine and just as convenient for the
venue and social.
