Rarely, every once in a while you come across something that is so impressive you have to shout about it immediately. That’s how I feel about my LVL Enhance treatment. I was nervous as hell but read on to find out why you need to go and get one too!
I wonder how many people travel passed Bowes Railway on a daily basis but never stop? I was guilty of that, daily for 5yr and recently we fixed that thanks to an open day!
The Bowes Railway was built to bring coal from the pits of Durham right down to the coast. Having grown up in Beamish, we had the remnants of ‘the line’ which now forms part of the C2C route. The same line is also still operational, at Tanfield just outside of Stanley.
I don’t normally make a habit of staying in hotels so close to home but last weekend I attended an event on the Quayside and priced a taxi. The Ramada Encore Gateshead came back only slightly more expensive than a taxi so I pushed the boat out and booked in.
Tucked away just behind the Baltic art gallery, the Ramada Encore is a great option for the budget traveller or those that need parking.
If you are looking for a special afternoon tea in the area, you can’t get much better than sitting atop of an iconic building with the Quayside laid out before you. SIX at the Baltic occupies the top floor for lunch, dinner and Afternoon Tea.
In the last month or so there has been a huge burst of launches at the Qube dining area of the Intu Metrocentre in Gateshead. The latest launch of the bunch is Thaikhun.
Owned by the group behind the well renowned Chaophraya restaurants (and also named after a river in Thailand!), Thaikhun aims to bring authentic, casual Thai food to your table.
