08 Mar 09 - Hartlepool

10th March 2009

On Sunday 8th March we made an unscheduled visit to our friends in Hartlepool and I managed to squeeze in the traditional, post-lunch visit to the Power Station sands. The weather was extremely windy with intermittent snow and hail showers and, although not very cold, the wind-chill factor was high. So high in fact that we decided not to linger on the off chance that we might see some movements. A pretty good decision as there turned out not to be any. In addition, there were very few ships on berths that were within camera range and most of what I have put in this collection was anchored way out in Tees Bay. On a more positive note I finally managed to get some kind of a photograph of Clemenceau lying in the TERRC basin awaiting demolition. The image isn’t going to win any prizes any time soon, but as a record, it will suffice.
