We began at Rickleton, at some gates into a small wood. The sun was behind the wood, so the Jeeps were in shade for the photos.

It was a short drive to the gates to the Lambton Estate for the next shoot ( now there's a site that would be great for a photoshoot ).

From there we continued through Rickleton and Harraton, then crossed the river Wear at Fatfield bridge, stopping at Mount Pleasant Lake. 

From there, we took a road through the back of Penshaw, over an old riveted railway bridge we discovered on a recent walk and onto a small lane.

Back over the bridge, we turned back onto the road parallel to the river around the back of Penshaw Monument. There was another stop a little further up the raiilway.

A little further along the road, we made a brief stop by some old stables. It wasn't far to the A183, where we turned 180 degrees at the roundabout and headed to Penshaw Monument.

Stopping near the garden centre, it gave us a better view of the monument than the parking at the other end of the parking lane. Unfortunately the sun was behind the monument and Jeeps for the photos.

After Penshaw, we headed back over Fatfield bridge and North East along the North bank of the river to the car park near the old railway viaduct.

Back along the same lane again for a stop beside the river. Unfortunately the river was low since it is tidal, so it wasn't as visible as I had hoped.

Off on the road again through Fatfield and to a car park further North East along the river. This was at St James Steel Park, with the sun setting through the trees. 

Only a couple of hundred yards further along the road was another car park, near to the foot bridge over the river.

From there, four roundabouts along the road brought us to the Washington Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust. We're members there, but haven't been able to visit due to the lockdown.

The last stop was at a park near Washington Old Hall and village. The Sun was setting and temperature dropping fast, so we skipped Princess Anne Park and headed home.
