Mass start at Newcastle's town moor this morning. As I had a white number, I had to go towards the back of the 40,000 participants. Serious athletes all had different coloured numbers, banded according to estimated finishing time.
Crossing the Tyne Bridge from Newcastle into Gateshead.
The big green thing wiz supposed to be Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster, but I wisnae convinced!
A lang and dreich road.
Efter aboot five miles.
There wiz lots of bands playing all alang the course.
Including these army pipers and drummers.
Efter aboot 11 miles we had our first view of the coast at Marsden Brae.
