Not an entirely random name for a blog, but close. I am not a goat herder - in the usual meaning of that word; nor does the Urban Dictionary definition apply to me either (for a decade at least): an extremely drunk male who having lost all self-respect and standards, loses his powers of discrimination when pulling females. It is said that Gateshead derives its name from a settlement near an early Tyne crossing where goats once roamed. The goats are long gone, but me - I like to roam these parts - or rather run - exploring new places, rediscovering old ones in and around Gateshead and Newcastle when I'm out jogging. This blog is a collection of my photos, thoughts, observations, rants, loves and hates about Newcastle and Gateshead.

Work commences on Sustrans cycling hub



You heard it here first.  Back in January I told you that Sustrans was set to open a cycling hub and cafe on the Blue Carpet Square in Newcastle:

"Sustrans - the "leading charity enabling people to choose healthier, cleaner and cheaper journeys" are set to open up a bicycle hub where cyclists can leave their bikes securely and have a shower."

 Well, the builders are in, and they are in the process of stripping out the old fittings of Fusion Bar and commencing the necessary alterations.
