The Club’s traditional New Year paddle under the bridges of the Tyne was scuppered this year by the lack of a suitable get-out spot. But we still managed a few days on the water when conditions were right. Some of the sea paddlers made the most of a sunny day and calm seas for a gentle paddle from Sugar Sands to Craster on the Thursday before Christmas (Photo from my helmet camera – featured image above by Davy Jackson)

While the river runners spent the day on a stretch of the North Tyne they hadn’t done before – Falstone to Bellingham. A great day andvery scenic and they saw deer, buzzards, dippers and ducks. Photo John Snowdon
