Scorchio in Newcastle this week - too hot to be stuck in work, too hot to be stuck in the gym - better to get outside for a run. This week, I've been doing what i've terrmed the "Four Bridge Challenge" (the numeric value of the challenge is determined by the number of bridges over the Tyne, which have been crossed on a run, or the number of times a bridge has been crossed). It doesn't matter really, I just run different routes for variety, but the last couple of days I have ran the following route which i just over 3 miles: Worswick Street to the Tyne Bridge - across to the Gateshead side, past the Central pub, behind the Hilton hotel, to the High Level bridge then back across to Newcastle. Then up past the Central station to the Centre of Life to the Redheugh Bridge. After crossing the Redheugh to Gateshead again, down to the banks of the Tyne then on to the Swing Bridge. The Gateshead side of the Swing Bridge roughly marks the 3 mile mark. After crossing the Swing Bridge, I headed back to BodyZone gym on Carliol Square via the killer hill of Dean Street.
Today, I did the same route but couldn't really be arsed to run, so I took some pictures instead at various intervals on this route.
