Epic Snowdog mission with Daddy: south of the river!

Despite the poor weather we wrapped up warm & headed out to try and find as many Snowdogs as we could! We have 22 left to find however the Snowdogs are being returned to their kennels in a couple of weeks so we don't have time to waste!

First stop was Saltwell Park (open this time) and as we strolled through the windy, and beautifully leafy pathways we spotted our first Snowdog of the day! And after getting a little lost we found his buddy at Saltwell Park Towers before heading back in the car to the next location...

Beautiful waterfall in the park!

And squirrels running around like they own the place!

We arrived at the Angel of the North! Fantastic! If a little scary. It's lovely 'n that but it's ginormous!!
The Snowdog there was very pretty and I gave him a kiss as we left, and it was onwards to Washington!

After a quick Happy Meal we were on our way again - this time to Sunderland! Daddy wasn't too sure about being at Sunderland's stadium but there were Snowdogs to find! We toured all over the place; to the Glass Centre, Bridges Shopping centre and all over the city centre where there were 8 Snowdogs alone! And it was absolutely pouring down as we trudged through the city!

Sparky on Seaburn Seafront

Once we left Sunderland we headed north to Seaburn to find Sparky, before heading onward to South Shields. Although the rain held off it was starting to get colder so we didn't hang around. That said, there was still time for me to get a bag of candy floss!

South Shields Marine Park where Rhino the Rescue should be.

Unfortunately he was back in his kennels having a pamper day, but hopefully he'll be back soon!

Lovely afternoon at Marine Park South in South Shields!

Arrived at the Customs House in South Shields for the last one of the day,

and as it turns out one of my absolute favourites: Pawdington!

We headed home back through the Tyne Tunnel tired but during our mad day out we managed to track down 21 Snowdogs across Gateshead, South Tyneside & Sunderland! We're on 60 now so only one more to go. Patchwork Northumberland is all the way out at Kielder but we'll leave that for another day!

60 down, 1 to go!
