Geocache Description:


When the Boat Comes In was a popular TV Series filmed mainly in North Shields during the late 1970's.  The location of this Cache is now the best place to see the big boats when they come in to North Shields.  Over the past couple of years we have seen the QE2, the HMS Ark Royal and The World (the world's largest privately owned cruise liner) as well as countless other Cruise Liners and Navel Vessels berth at the Northumbrian Quay.

A number of the Caches in this series may require tweezers.  Please don't include the Cache in any photo's you upload.
 
The Royal Quays is an area of North Shields. It is on the site of former docks and contains the North Shields International Ferry Terminal. Since 1990 the area was re-branded Royal Quays and redeveloped with housing, a shopping centre and a water park.  The area is centred on the former Albert Edward Dock which  is now the Royal Quays marina.
 
The nearest Metro stations are Meadowell and Percy Main. Loads of Parking nearby though the majority of   the series will have to be done on foot or by bike.
 
The Royal Quays is also part of the Hadrian's Cycle Way (NCN 72) (Incorporates Coast to Coast)

Well done to Molliemooze and Daddyanddude on their joint ftf
