Looking for Northern Seascapes ...
South Shields, The Herd Groyne
Located on a small groyne (that’s a rigid hydraulic structure built from an ocean shore (in coastal engineering) or from a bank (in rivers) that interrupts water flow and limits the movement of sediment to you and me and yes I did have to Google it, what did we ever do before Wikipedia) Built in the mouth of the Tyne, in 1882 it still acts as a navigational aid to ships, oh and of course a nice location for the rats.

The Herd Groyne, South Shields[/caption]The Shot
Keith could have done with the new wellies (Muck Boot), to be precise, last Wednesday, got a right soaking trying to get the perfect angle / shot of the Herd Groyne Lighthouse at South Shields.

Soaked[/caption]Getting There
Use NE33 1LH (Little Haven Hotel) in your GPS and there’s a pay and display car park to the right of the hotel that’s right on the beach, £1.40 for two hours (as of 3rd quarter 2014).
