After consuming some very good Fish n Chips, down in the carpark on Roker sea front - just beyond the old IRB station [which is now the base for the RNLI beach lifeguards] - we did a bit of wave-watching. It was a little after high tide, when the waves had been depositing some bits of junk, small stones and seaweed, but there were still some good splashes. [1 of 7]
