Finally.

I finally found a spot in Whickham. The only spots I knew about are round the town centre where the shops are, they consist of rough rock flatbanks and grindy plastic benches. The spots are quite fun but are full of people. I found a miniaturised version of a Mike Hoder style gap from his New York edit but I haven't got the balls up to do it as yet. Here's the new spot I found in Whickham's shadiest housing estate (it's far from shady). The spots not incredible but it's better than nothing.   

The search continues.
