Newcastle Ferry.

BAAFest was very good, a must for next year and handy for the Newcastle to Ijmuiden ferry.
We travelled from Bellingham to Tynemouth and parked on the Spannish Battery Car Park and walk into the town centre for some bit for lunch.
Eventually headed to the Ferry Terminal and straight onto the boat.
Even though we booked early for the ferry we missed out on the cheap cabins and ended up with a double bed rather than the single bunks, hopefully we get a better night's sleep, the bunks are a little small.

The main entrance being at the relative position of Wellington. The caves played a significant part in the Battle Of Arras in the WW1 and provided shelter for the local inhabitants in WW2.
