7.10 miles. Boldon - West Meadows - Nissan. No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet. Mild and still morning 16c, but, cloudy. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding our new to us Hase Pino Steps, semi-recumbent tandem. All very good fun on our first home area outing. Gave a laugh. to a couple of passers-by.

15.49 Miles. Boldon - Jarrow - Washington Village - Boldon.  No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet. Mild and calm morning 18c, and sunny. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding Hase Pino semi-recumbent tandem. Coffee stop at Washington Village. A couple of problematic barriers with tandem, one of which was impossible, and, alternative route very overgrown and neglected. We will have to find a better alternative route,

11.29 miles. Boldon - Whitburn - Boldon.   No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet. Sunny, hot and calm morning 22c. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding Hase Pino semi-recumbent tandem. Coffee stop at Whitburn Village, this would be a pleasant stop, if the woman who runs the place smiled occasionally, and, there were fewer barking dogs.
