After a quiet night in the carpark in Guisborough we have some housekeeper to do. Pam has Googled up a local laundromat and so we fill a bag with 10 days of washing and head off to find the laundromat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a tiny little place in the old residential area of town. Luckily they\u2019re is a small paid carpark in the next street and we squeeze the Hymer in after paying a \u00a31 to the local authority. Whilst the washer and dryer is doing its thing we have a walk around Guisborough and take a few photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An hour or so later the washings done and we are ready to start the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s an easy 30 mile drive across to Hartlepool, we spot an LPG filling station on our way and fill our gar tanks and diesel whilst where there. Our plan was to visit the Hough Battery Museum out on the headland, but we find it closed. It\u2019s now only open Thursday to Sunday, so much for our nearly 10 year old guide book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So just a couple of pictures from the adjoining park and through the fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Museum of the Royal Navy is only a couple of miles back in the quay at Hartlepool, so rather than waste a day we drive back to the port find a parking spot, pay our \u00a38 pp and spend a couple of hours wandering the HMS Trincomalee and the various exhibits housed in the buildings surrounding the quay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The centrepiece of the museum is the Trincomalee, it\u2019s an amazing piece of restoration. Built in Bombay, India in 1816 from teak due to the shortage of quality oak available in England following the Napoleonic wars. It saw service in various conflicts around the British Empire to eventually be sold as a training vessel for young seaman. It was this role that kept it from the breakers yard and made its restoration eventually possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was cold and windy, so we spent little time above deck, before going to the other indoor exhibits. Some pictures below\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having achieved something at Hartlepool its time to continue on the Durham and what will be tomorrow\u2019s adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
