Well you\'ve certainly got the hang of posting pix now, Andy :cool:

Went over to the Royal Quays thisafternoon......the shopping bit 1st......then thought we\'d take a mooch around the marina.

Didn\'t realise that it was an open day on Invincible........that coupled with the arival of most of the Tall Ships made for a rather busy day down there.........IT WAS HEAVING :exclam: :exclam:

Came back over to the South side and had a walk along Shields pier to see some of the ships coming in........grand sight :D
 
I will have to learn how to post pics sorry tc ive emailed some more pis to you with the ships coming through the piers.Some of the crews were singing \'rule Brittania\'and the Blaydon races as they came through and they even tried to shoot us with a canon i nearly jumped oot me skin.
 
No problem Rich......I\'ll sort ya pix out.

When we were on Shields pier, we seen the pilot boat limping back towards the harbour, with smoke pouring out from the back of it.......one little\'n asked his mam if the \"pirates\" had shot it with their cannons.......hahahahaha
 
lol.we were on from 1030 til 4 trying to fish but with little success.had a cracking view of the ships coming round the end of the pier.
 
Here are your pix Rich......

NOTE:
I\'ve had to re-size them drastically to upload them, so the quality is no where near as good as the originals, unfortunately.
 
I\'d planned to get up at dawn yesterday and go photograph the morning light falling on the Dar Mlodziezy from over at Cambois, slept in though unfortunately :-(

Took these the day the first ones had arrived in Blyth and some were still sat off the Tyne...

Just off up there thismorning to get a few pix.
Takin\' the wife with me so I\'ve stuck her wellies in the boot just incase......hahaha
;)
 
Not much chance of getting any decent photos of individual ships today........could hardly get moved along either banks of the river today - so went into \"work mode\" and decided to get mainly crowd shots.
Today was the 1st time I\'d ever been down on the quayside at Newcastle and many, many years since I was down on the Gateshead side. Here are some of the pix I took with the digital camera.......will post the fillm ones when I get \'em printed.
