I thought I'd share some snaps of the lovely views you'll get visiting Ryhope Colliery Beach

There's ample parking

Surprised someone hasn't nicked the alloys

First glimpse of outfall

Eroded steps and a catalogue pose

And here's a couple for all you brick fans out there

Aaah, I love stuff like this...especially coastal stuff!

The 'beached' vehicle is wonderful and an excellent Mr Catalogue pose. :lol:

Deary me - one sneeze and that car will fall. Is it on mud stuff?

The outfall. Is that where someone drowned earlier this year? I may be mistaken!

Looks like a good place for brick hunters though...

Great pose :lol:

Never knew there was anything on the beach.. but to be fair I've never really stuck around Ryhope for too long - one of those 'lock your doors' kinda places

Yeah it's on mud.

There was a report in the Sunderland Echo about a lad nearly drowning after being washed off the pipeline.

Yeah it's good for bricks
