What a day! Me and 8 other goodgymmers braved the wet weather to walk the 9 miles from Northern Stage, to City Library, to East End Library, to Walker Dome, to Wallsend Library before we finished at North Shields Library - 10 minutes to spare before closing!

The aim was to raise awareness, to visit our brilliant community libraries, to raise some money and have a right good natter along the way!

It was so great to see so many new people - thank you so much for joining! I hope you've all dried out!!
