Yesterday was the Tyne and Wear Metro meet. Present were myself, Vikki, evil_hippo, tramboy, bluecont, scott_lowes, 6M60 SEATON FLASKS and Chris who I don't think is on this forum.
Vikki and I met up with the rest on a coast train at Monument, we were greeted with the sight of Zoltan waving a printout of a BR badge around in the doorway. We then travelled out to Tynemouth before doubling back to North Shields to have lunch. Next we took a bus down to the quayside to get the ferry across the Tyne to South Shields. Then we took a metro to Pelaw, while on the train we decided it might be a good idea to have a proper introduction so we knew who everyone was! From here we took another metro out to South Hylton and back into Newcastle (Central). Finally we walked to Haymarket where Zoltan assaulted Scooby Doo en-route and Vikki and I decided to leave.
All in all it was an interesting day. It was interesting to learn that I have a reputation, apparently some of the group had been "warned" about me, whatever that means...
I'll leave it to the others to fill in the gaps.
