UPDATE: HARTLEPOOL TALL SHIPS RACES 2010

6th AUGUST

As more and more of the magnificent Class A ships arrive, this wonderful event looks to be building up to be one of the highlights of the decade for the North East.

The main berthing areas of the Victoria Harbour and Marina are linked by a vast Tall Ships Village with every attraction you can imagine and countless food outlets. Huge crowds are expected over the weekend. On site there is plenty of space over several acres but to avoid delays the best approach is to get there early! Check out   the website for details of Park and Ride and Park and Walk sites. Parking on the Headland is for residents only. The West View Road Park and Walk is the nearest, some quarter or half a mile (depending which part of the huge field you end up in!) from the Victoria Harbour entrance.

Look out for fellow members, many on assignment, who will be out in force. In fact why not get together and share the £10 per car cost of parking.
