HMS Dauntless Visits Tyneside

Home > Tyne & Wear > Newcastle upon Tyne > Port of Tyne

Newcastle upon Tyne’s affiliated warship, HMS Dauntless, has berthed at North Shields for a weekend of events on Tyneside.

HMS Dauntless

The 152m long Type 45 destroyer vessel joined the Royal Navy fleet in November 2010 and is visiting Newcastle upon Tyne, her affiliated city.

The public will get the chance to have a look around on Sunday when there will also be a parade.

The Royal Navy had to apologise after hundreds of visitors were turned away from an open day in Great Yarmouth after the event was “hugely oversubscribed”.

We have added a couple of videos about her visit to our YouTube channel (opens in a new window).

Room information including photographs can be found on the Accommodation page of our website.

A bit more about their newest ride…

“The Urban Wave at Ocean Beach can simulate the sense of gliding found in surfing and boarding sports whether favouring a standing, kneeling or prone position.

An hour-long session awaits aspiring surfers of all abilities who want to feel the waves of the Pacific coast without getting wet.”

More about the rides at Ocean Beach Pleasure Park and how visitors can keep energy levels ticking over…

What rides are there at the park?
Thrillseekers can head towards the air diver, waltzer and pirate ship, while tea cups, helter skelter and bungee trampolines await little ones and the less faint-hearted.

What is the Urban Wave attraction?
The Urban Wave simulates surfing, wake-boarding, body-boarding and snowboarding. The rotating platform of soft brushes enables beginners to learn the basics of stance and balance while more experienced surfers can work on tricks.

Are there places to eat around the park?
Visitors can fill up on a variety of fare including chicken fajitas, burgers and chips, as well as sweeter treats like hot doughnuts, candy floss and Slush Puppies.

Ocean Beach Pleasure Park can be found on Sea Road, South Shields, NE33 2LD – a few minutes walk from our bed and breakfast accommodation on Beach Road.
