NORTH EAST DELIGHTS

some more Guangzhou scenes from last week in China, today we went up to Tyneside, great time in Newcastle, sun shine, no hassle filming, friendly crews, lots of enthusiasts about, plenty of activity, vehicles and liveries galore.

Martin right, myself left on trolley in China.

After Newcastle we went to Durham, still mainly sunny then on to Bishop Auckland, down to earth with a bang, what a crap hole it is these days but still unscathed. Then we took the long and tiring but rewarding route west along Weardale across to Cumbria, route which is well worth doing if you have never tried it, superb scenery, interesting places, museums, and Weardale Motors a most friendly and smart fleet, more of that tomorrow after returning from Truckfest at Peterborough. While there's still sunshine I'm off out into the garden to mow lawns and trim borders
