Tyne Amateur Rowing Club sits on the River Tyne at Newburn, about 7 miles west of Newcastle city centre. We have the longest and arguably best stretch of river for rowing in the north of England. And we have a new clubhouse with excellent indoor facilities. See our Welcome page for more details.
Rutherford Head - 2 Dec 23 - very cold but good rowing
The club hosted its largest rowing competition of the year last Saturday, 2 December 23. Conditions were cold, cold, cold, but with little or no wind and sunny they were actually great to row in. But waiting in the literally freezing cold for the start at Scotswood and to land at Newburn after racing were less than ideal. Hot drinks all round on disembarking. The results are on the comp web page here or at go.oar-online.uk.
Tide tables
Tide times at North Shields to the end of December 2023 are shown below (click on images for larger versions). They are in Greenwich Mean Time. So no need now to add 1 hour for BST (as from Sun 29 October). But always add 20 minutes for Newburn.
Times and heights are always approx due to changing wind and other conditions. You can download the full Port of Tyne 2023 tide tables from which these are taken at their resources page (2024 version still awaited as at 07-12-23). See also our tides page and a useful long term tide times generator web site.
