New Year's Day has dawned cold and snowy in Tynemouth. Here are the views from YC's back garden and the Bear's Head on the Long Sands. YC's plans for a fellrace at Rothbury were thwarted by the snow which brought North Tyneside's roads to a standstill. Instead he settled for a run on the beach and a jog up and down the steps at King Edward's Bay. There he met 3 people walking off their New Year's Eve Turkey Race dinner.

Emma - so tell me about the jibs on the Turkey Race
Timothy - I was watching them like a hawk!
Pat - would that be an elderly short sighted hawk?
