Well you\'ve certainly got the hang of posting pix now, Andy
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
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.
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
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...
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.
This is my favourite of the set and has nowt to do with Tall Ships.......I\'ll have to get down there again (once all this Tall Ships lark is over) to get more photos.......the photo possibilities down there are HUGE !!
Nice pics Tony, wat time did you go down, we went there for 9.30am yesterdayand it wasnt to bad, could get on the boats without queing but by the time we left at 11.30am the crowds where starting to arrive.
