A while back Rose rightl gave us Novacastrians a serve for wanting to get together but not doing anything about it.
SO....
Sunday mornings Leesa and I have been driving ole Red into the Brewery carpark and doing some walks along the foreshore.
Today, after the many comments from people seeing little Red parked there alone I thought why not TRY to get some of the local Veedubbers to come in as well.
It costs nothing and you will get the minimum required excercise, 30 minutes if you like, at least once a week.
We usually arrive between 7 and 7.15am.
At present we have one walk that covers the 30 minutes and is 4 klms in length give a take a few meters. Eventually the plan, when Leesa, is recovered enough, is to go out to the end of the breakwall and back.
You can get a coffee later at Elizabeths or just have a lazy drive via the beaches and down along Hunter Street and head off home.
So if you are keen I look forward to Red having some friends to sit with in the carpark and watch all the walkers go by. ( he is out the front shaking his fenders with excitement)
QWB carpark the one closest to the Brewery between 7am and 7.15am Sunday mornings. Bring comfortable shoes, water bottle and a small backpack to carry your wallets and keys in.
Cya there if you are keen, It really is a nice way to open up a Sunday morning,

Reckon I could fit this in around my 6 ish visit to Horse shoe beach with wonder dog.

See you there....but I guess I will have to bring the kids *-(
donn ·
Good, they can walk the wonder dog, my arms are long enough already.
The_Bug67 ·
Noah the "Wonderboy" would sure love to walk the wonder dog....maybe they can wear each other out.😂
VWCOOL ·
see you there...
at 2pm on the way to the Beach Hotel 🙂
RED62E ·
Bring the kids with their scooters and roller blades or whatever yours are into. They shoot off then meet when called. I just bought a boxer pup for Leesa to help her get out more so it would be coming along as well. The more the better.
2pm is too late though and too many hills around the Beaches Hotel.

... and 7am is way too early for beer 😂
The_Bug67 ·
.....7am is not too early if you are still going from the night before🤪🤪🤪🤪
The_Bug67 ·
we will see you in the morning as long as it is not raining
donn ·
Damn, missed you but left a short note on old Red, had to bring the soob as dog, passenger and driver won't all fit in the buggy at the same time, arrived a couple of minutes late and seems went the wrong way to catch up, returned just as the KG and fawn beetle were driving away. Where is this Elizabeths you mentioned. We ended up in Hamilton, saw a blue Manx (I think) driving down Beaumont St., anyone know who that may have been.

The manx might have been turbo mick, just got it on the road a few weeks ago.

Lets do it again next week......what a nice start to Sunday & I need the exercise🤪
donn ·
I'll be there.
RED62E ·
I got the note thanks Donn. At first thought it was a parking nasty. Taa. The coffee shop is at the other end of the building on the QWB. Jodie and her mob stayed and we were there until about 9am I guess. I had to go and do stuff before the Fat As Butter concert. It was a nice easy morning.
The_Bug67 ·
Donn, don't forget the wonder dog & the vw😂
donn ·
Wonder dog is a sure bet, he'd eat me if I took the buggy and not him, I'll try to squeeze my lady in with him although it might be a bit early for her (getting to the beach at sun up is not her favourite thing) whatever i'll be there.
RED62E ·
7am is not that early. Life is way too short for laying in bed doing nought.
donn ·
Life is way too short for laying in bed doing nought.
So what do you suggest you do instead?
Agree with the 7am bit, can't beat the beach, the dog and the sun rising through the mist.

Hi Guys
My daughter had a small accident on Thursday, she fell about 2.5 metres off some scaffold my husband had set up to paint the house. She landed flat on her back & has to go to hospital. After many x-rays & CT scans she was sent home apart from being very sore & sorry for herself she is ok. So, if I am not there in the morning by 7.15am please don't wait. I will see you next week.
Jodi xxx

Cripes Jody, glad to hear things have turned out sorta OK. Seems a bit of rain put the others off, I was there (on time today) all by my lonesome, well wonder dog and me, my lady turned up in the soob just as it started to rain, gotta love driving roofless in the rain, still can't find this Elizabeths place, Starfish cafe is on the end, asked a few people but no one seemed to know.
I'll try again next week
Don

Howdy we got to Wharf Road and it pee d down with vengence so we turned around and made our way back home. Jody sorry to hear about your girl. Let me know if she would like a 'special' trip to school. I'm sure I could arrange that for her. I think I saw your boy on Friday night when I was working. He walked past sorta grinning but all shy like. Give us a call if you like. See whoeva next week.

Don't you guys known what an umbrella is?? lol😂
RED62E ·
Do you know how silly I look with the umrella blown inside out then me getting soaked when the penny finaly drops. Plus I got the injured one who does not do very good in the wet weather due to the fractures in her feet. I know the kind thing would have been to leave her at home but then she yells at the kids....lol

Here's an idea for a cruise for you newcastle guys, let me know what you think.
We could go there after our walk or just go there what do you think?
donn ·
after the walk for me
rose ·
Missed you guys at the beach and I couldn't find anyone amongst all the other crazy people at the markets and it was bloody cold and very very windy.
donn ·
went to the beach about 6am nearly got blown off the sand onto the break wall road, wonder dog didn't seem to mind, left there and arrived at the Brewery about 6.50 only to find the carpark closed because of some damned bikathon or sumthn, the closure of the roads in that area for various obscure events is getting realy boring, why close the entire road, (oops, on my soap box again) left there a bit after seven and made my way home thinking I'd be the only d/head to venture out in that sort of weather. Went past the car boot sale but kept motoring, heaps of cars there by 7.15 but not for me without a roof or heater, aah, be it ever so humble there's no place like home, well it was a lot warmer there than in the buggy (haf ta think of a name and get it christened, well at least have a naming ceremony / party.
grumble ·
Today would have been interesting,blowing the oysters off the rocks you would have needed a good lead on the wonder dog or an anchor
ian.mezz ·
I hope its not as windy this week end, so it dont blow my dog off his chain, Donn my dogs also like the morning drive cause we get hungy jacks for breaky on the way home.😂
donn ·
Always reckon thats a good name, reckon I'd have to be hungry to eat it. At this Elizabeths place, do they allow the lil dogies to sit down with us, although not sure about going this weekend as I may be doing the Williams with my son.
