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.

Stepney bank photo opportunity

I was out for a run today along the quayside and to Ouseburn Valley, a pleasant run until you hit the killer hill of Stepney bank. Usually, I run out of steam half way up and walk the rest of the way to the Tanners pub at the top. Towards the top of Stepney bank there is a car  mechanic's garage specialising in fixing old classic cars - Peugeots think. 
This photo does not do the place justice,  but I have passed here when there has been bright sunshine coming to the skylight, shining like a spotlight onto a classic car elevated on the ramp.  I've always thought it would make an interesting photo with the right lighting and a decent camera.
