TEES - 23rd August (100 images)
1st September 2007

A selection of images showing movements at the Tees on the 23rd August.I'd planned to come here on a few occasions with Phil Simpson but unfortunately things had cropped up last minute.
But was glad today paid off as the weather was great and the sightings were too,nearly all were new to me so was a good day all round.
To be honest if I'd only seen a tug all day it wouldnt have bothered me,its a great place to come!
Hope you like these images,all comments welcome.
Bye for now ;-)

## Many thanks to Phil Simpson for taking me there,cheers Phil had a great day out! ##
