North Shields Maritime Chambers to Cullercoats, North Tyneside ©
This is a 3 mile linear walk accessible by public transport at both ends. I began at North Shields Maritime Chambers on Howard Street where I dropped down a set of steps down onto the quayside and a then turned left for the short walk to the Fish Market. By going round the Low Light Centre it is possible to get onto the riverside walk which takes you along the banks of the River Tyne to Tynemouth. At Tynemouth I took a combination of promenade walks and sandy beaches northwards. Occasionally cliffs forced me up steps to street level before descending again into a series of white sandy bays. There are plenty of cafes at street level between North Shields and Whitley Bay plus a couple of beach cafes. Alongside these are a lot of outdoor activity companies, such as canoeing, surfing and kayaking operating on the beaches supervised by lifeguards using a flag system to indicate where and when it is safe to swim. It is easily possible to extend this walk northwards as far as Whitley Bay or St Mary's Island.

Fulwell Mill Sunderland
Fulwell Windmill Sunderland
Opened in 1808, Fulwell Mill in Sunderland cost Joseph Swan, a local shipbuilder, £900 to build.
It was a working mill of 5 floors until the 1950s, when it started to deteriate due to lack of maintainance.
Sunderland Council fitted 4 dummy sails in 1955, and in 1996, work started to restore the mill to it's full working condition with work being completed in 2001.
Update published by the Sunderland Echo 15th May 2018.
The restoration of Sunderland's historic Fulwell Mill has taken a major step forward. Built in 1808, the landmark has been closed to the public since 2012 on health and safety grounds after suffering significant damage at the hands of severe weather.
The cap and sails were removed in 2015 because of their dangerous condition, and the same year the mill was placed on Historic England's Heritage-at-Risk Register.
Now a project to restore the mill to its former glory has taken a major step forward, with the replacement of its four sails completed.
This year's bad weather and the availability of one of the country's only specialist millwrights, meant restoration work had to be delayed.
When the work is complete, the mill will be handed over by Sunderland City Council to Sunderland North Community Business Centre (SNCBC) who will manage and maintain it.
Volunteer recruitment is also ongoing and SNCBC is keen to hear from anyone who can help ensure the mill is maintained for future generations to enjoy.
The cultural heritage restoration project has been a partnership between Sunderland City Council and Historic England who both helped fund the costs of repairs and restoration.
The Grade II* listed building can now be removed from Historic England's Heritage-at-Risk Register where it was placed in 2015.
It was closed as a visitor attraction in 2012 because of storm damage with the cap and sails later removed in 2015 because of their dangerous condition.
Since then, the council has been working with Beaumont Brown Conservation Architects and Bonwick Milling Heritage Consultancy on the restoration scheme approved by Historic England.
Kate Wilson, Heritage at Risk Principal for Historic England in the North East, said: We are delighted to see Fulwell Mill fully restored.
Repairing buildings like this requires specialist skills and has been carried out by a team of millwrights possessing the necessary expertise.
Historic England actively promotes and supports the use of traditional building skills as preserving this expertise is fundamental to repairing historic buildings.
The specialist work carried out by Owlsworth IJP has restored Fulwell Mill to its rightful place on the city’s skyline and is testament to our shared commitment to preserving our industrial and cultural heritage.
Unlike it's neighbouring Whitburn windmill, Fulwell windmill Sunderland hawas fortunate to have a windmill restoration completed and as of June 2018 we are waiting patiently for the fulwell windmill restoration project to be re-opened to the public.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at Fulwell Mill then please contact SNCBC on 0191 537 3231 9am - 5pm for further information.

IRELAND - WikiVidi Documentary
Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George's Channel. Ireland is the second-largest island of the British Isles, the third-largest in Europe, and the twentieth-largest on Earth. Politically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland , which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, in the northeast of the island. In 2011, the population of Ireland was about 6.4 million, ranking it the second-most populous island in Europe after Great Britain. Just under 4.6 million live in the Republic of Ireland and just over 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland. The island's geography comprises relatively low-lying mountains surrounding a central plain, with several navigable rivers extending inland. The island has lush vegetation, a product of its mild, but changeable climate which is free of extremes in temperature. Thick woodlands covered...

South African History 1652 -1902 Culminating in the Anglo Boer War & Battle at Spion Kop
Online history video on the battle of Spion Kop, the bloodiest battle of the Anglo Boer War in South Africa 1899 - 1902, where Winston Churchill reported that up to seven bombs per minute were landing on top of the Spion Kop mountain with massive clouds of orange lydite and that the British soldiers in the trenches were being blown to atoms. Known as the 'Acre of Massacre', it remains the smallest piece of ground on which more men lost their lives in a single battle than any battle fought anywhere in the world… and it is here, witnessing what the human race was capable of, that the seeds of Mahatma Gandhi’s passive resistance took root. Leading up to this moment in history are some of South Africa’s major historical events going as far back as 1652, including:
The arrival of the first settlers in South Africa and the origins of the Afrikaner people
Conflicts in the history of South Africa: 1652 – 1902
Black/White and British/Boer conflicts in South Africa: 1652 – 1902.
The British after burning many Boer farms set up concentration camps where disease was rampant which resulted in 29 000 Afrikaners and over 20 000 black people; men, woman and children dying in these camps.
