Historical Headland

A late morning easy run took us out to explore the local trails. Following the general direction using Google Maps, we wove our way through a couple parks to get to the Summerhill Country Park. We managed a full lap around the main Summerhill trail before the return run home. Being a sunny weekend day, there were lots of people about enjoying time with family, friends, or solo.

Mid-afternoon we headed to the Hartlepool Headland where the historical village originated, and explored the old seawall. Apparently we didn't study much of World War 1, as we were surprised to learn of the German naval bombardment of Hartlepool on December 1914, which resulted in many fatalities and injuries. We also learnt that much of Victorian buildings were demolished, the port expanded, and much of the "newer" homes along the wall were from the 1960s.

Unfortunately J missed one of his pins, and we passed the Andy Capp carton statue near the old Pot Pub. 🙃

A quick grocery shop on the way back took us to ASDA, feeling strangely familiar to Walmart. Only later did we look it up and find out it is owned by Walmart. 🤷‍♂️
