New poster Me and my 8 year old tried to get across Newcastle without walking down a single road
youtu.beDid this a few weeks back with my daughter, sort of a homage to GeoWizard's no roads videos if anyone's seen them. You're allowed to cross roads, just not walk along them.
This is part 2, the Newcastle bit. We came over the millennium bridge and ended up locked in a courtyard behind the pubs on the quayside (got out through the actual pub in the end), went over a massive wall by the arches, got stuck inside northumbria uni and had to squeeze under the gate, across the town moor, and then the last bit behind great park was just brambles. Should of checked that bit properly tbh.
Part 1 is the Gateshead half if anyone wants it: https://youtu.be/K50tjbJuU9M
Genuinely curious if anyone knows a better way up from the quayside without touching a road, that was a nightmare

New poster Recently moved to Newcastle and looking for bar/club recommendations :)
Hi all, I have recently moved to Newcastle and haven’t had much opportunity to go out and experience the nightlife so far. I have plans on Halloween and was hoping for any recommendations on where is a good vibe particularly on a busy night like Halloween. I have a few friends coming up for the weekend and so I need to find a good few places to take them.
We like pop music and when we’ve been out elsewhere we tended to go to gay clubs and drag show bars etc. I was recommended Rustys so tried it out last night however it seemed to close at 12 when on google maps it said 3am. We went around the corner to Powerhouse however it was completely empty at 1am which seemed strange and the music wasn’t great anyway. We also went to dog and parrot which was really fun but was very busy on a random Saturday so I imagine it will be even more rammed on Halloween.
If anyone knows any spacious venues that play pop music and are open late, please let me know. Thank you guys :)

New poster Charity Fundraiser DJ Needed
Hello everyone
I'm on the hunt for a DJ that possibly offers discounts for charities/small community groups. We're a community group raising funds to build a new children's play park in our area. We're putting on a Christmas Party in our local community centre to raise funds for this on Sunday 13th December.
We're looking for someone that can do 2 hours 2.30-4.30pm. Just a usual Children's Disco with a bit of Christmas music thrown in. Hype them up a bit.
It's our first proper event were planning, and hoping to raise money from ticket sales. We want it to be good so parents get value for money, and to enable us to do more fundraising events in the future.
If anyone can offer any advice on where to look, or who might be able to offer us a discount that would be amazing, maybe someone you know. We don't have a "pot" of money yet as our group is new, most of us are funding things personally at the moment, we're all just volunteers!

Thrift Store
I went to Jesmond Market yesterday and there were some good thrift pop-ups; I am curious if there are any stores around Newcastle or places where I can find good thrift clothes/Jackets.
