Got up early and got a bus to the metro centre for breakfast and then a bus back to the camp site from where I set off to see 'The Angel of the North'. I walked along the road side (probably the most dangerous stretch of road I've been on so far with fast traffic and no room to manoeuvre). When I could see the Angel in the distance I took a photograph and then my camera packed up! At the woods near the statue I met Kelly who works for the Gateshead council. She was doing a forest survey and she kindly took some photos of me on her cell phone and will try and send me copies via e-mail (it was new phone). Without these photographs I will have no record of my 25k kilometre journey to the Angel of the North - something I've wanted to see for a long time. Kelly showed me a cycle route which I took back to the camp site with very little traffic until near the end. The walk to and from the Angel took about 7 hours.
Back at the camp site I took a bus to the metro centre and bought a new camera, a new cell phone and my supper.
