“Families across Hartlepool are being urged to support Walk to School Week by leaving their cars at home and making the daily “school run” on foot.
The week-long national campaign which takes place twice a year, will run from May 18-22.
It aims to highlight the traffic problems that exist outside many schools due to the increasing numbers of children who travel to school by car, and raise awareness of the environmental and health benefits associated with walking.”
The Lightning Seeds are headlining on the Saturday. Used to own CloudCuckooLand so am psyched about this.
Classic Car Rally Was Fun
There was a classic car rally held in the car park of Hartlepool’s Maritime Experience yesterday. There were loads of cars, gorgeous weather and a great crowd. I will be posting photos soon.
My faves were the Edsel, a couple of Pontiacs that reminded me of my childhood, the minis and the Rovers. We just got a new (old) Rover which may have affected me.

A Hartlepool Shopping Riddle
When is 24 hours not 24 hours?
When you try to go to ASDA or Tesco after 10:00 PM on a Saturday night…24 Hours is written in huge letters and you have to get really close to read the fine print. They only mean on weekdays. They close at 22:00 on a Saturday and are open on Sunday from at 10:00 - 16:00.
At least the ATMs at ASDA are outside so it wasn’t a totally wasted journey.
Hartlepool United vs. West Ham
Hartlepool made it into the fourth round of the FA Cup. For those not into soccer/football check out the wikipedia article for an explanation.
Teams from different leagues get to play each other in a random draw. Getting into the fourth round was a big deal. They played admirably and lost to West Ham on 2 goals gotten at the end of the first half.
Driving by Victoria Park the night before we saw loads of media trucks parked outside ready for the big match and ASDA was selling commemorative scarves to mark the occasion.
Posted belatedly, there’s always next year.
Hartlepool Council’s Countryside Wardens are leading a three-mile coastal walk on Friday January 2, with the route going from Seaton Carew to the mouth of the River Tees with breaks to appreciate wildlife / landscape and the history of the area.
Walkers should meet at Seaton Carew bus station clock tower at 10am. The walk will last apprximately four hours.
This will be the first in a series of three “Sands of Time” walks which will cover the entire Hartlepool coastline from Hart Warren to the Tees. For more information contact the Countryside Wardens at 07785 371513.
