- This blog is about Druridge Bay in Northumberland, which stretches for about seven miles of flat, sandy beaches between the villages of Low Hauxley in the North to Cresswell in the South, with Cresswell being c 20 miles North-East of Newcastle.
- Following our recent and sold out Forton lake Low Tide Trail, I have been inspired to draw attention to one of the smaller and often over looked vessels in this historic ships’ assemblage. These ships range from Motor Minesweeper to the vessel I would like to draw your attention to FL24 a Bomb Scow, a vessel with a great story!
- HMS Conway was the Mercantile Marine Service Association's training school for offices in the Merchant Navy. Moored of Rock Ferry in the River Mersey, three vessels carried the name before the last ship was wrecked off Wales. Several memorials can be found to her on both sides of the river and the memory of a Man O'War on the Mersey is still strong on the Wirral.
