WR (O&A) - River Tyne - pulling away

Pulling away from the dock / Quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne after the lunch break, about to pass under the Millennium Bridge [the pedestrian blinking eye bridge]. Overall, the row raised several thousand pounds for the RNLI. image recently forwarded to me.

gbww [22] - River Tyne ice pancakes

30 Dec 2022 2 39
Nice image of "ice pancakes" on the River Tyne at Hexham, December 2022. These small scale ice circles appear to have formed within areas having surface eddies in otherwise slow moving water. not my image : fair use & public education

olb - lifeboat regatta Tyne

30 Oct 2016 292
This postcard was labelled as a Tyne Pilots convention. I disagree. It shows a Lifeboat Regatta, these took place as regular challenges between lifeboat crews to time rowing over a set route. Of course, "visiting" crews had to get there, and local "lightweight" boats such as Rubie class "William Riley" would have had *some* advantage. It is possible that Pilots would be crew members, along with local fishermen and seafarers.

Water dripping off the oars ... The gap in the Staithes is the result of an arson attack in 2003.

WR(O&A) Tyne - Scotswood

23 Oct 2015 2 415
The old Scotswood Rail Bridge, the design is for six "hogback" girders spans on five cast iron columns (it just carries utility pipes since the rail route was closed in 1982 and then lifted).

aav / gbw - water rail

12 Dec 2012 1 3 479
I am surprised that this length of rail is still here, as I assume that it was dropped off the viaduct above many years ago. (edited to add - rail disappeared around early November 2013 ) E2A - having taken my chance to look more closely - provided by a very low water episode - this rail is one of several used as reinforcement in the concrete apron but it had been cut off.

aav / gbw - it was raining upstream

River South Tyne in spate (again)

aav / gbw - high spate

Late December 2012, another very high spate for the River South Tyne.

aav / gbw - spate dropping

09 Dec 2011 323
After snow, wind and heavy rain (which was even worse in Scotland) the river was in a real spate yesterday. Got this shot in the morning - 9th December 2011 - the river level has dropped quite a lot.

gbw - blue bridge

09 Nov 2011 458
The Blue Bridge at Haltwhistle over the Tyne, framed by summer leaves. As the river is in a low flow state there is quite an expanse of gravel and pebbles to be seen.

Summer day, low water flow under the Alston Arches at Haltwhistle. Works well on black!
