Finisher T-shirts also feature outline of River Wear, as organisers spin medals as ‘most unique’ in event’s history
The organisers of the Great North Run have apologised after finisher T-shirts and medals were printed with a map of rival north-east city Sunderland instead of Newcastle.
About 600,000 took part in the half marathon on Sunday, running 13.1 miles from the centre of Newcastle, across the River Tyne, and through Gateshead, finishing by the coast in South Shields. Continue reading...

I had a really uplifting day yesterday at the UK River Summit and Festival. An eclectic gatherings of people with a range of interests and motivations, but there is space for more academics (and definitely more hydrologists) in these important conversations

I have recently been gifted this beautiful piece of hydrometry history (it was originally given to my grandad). Some internet sleuthing suggests it’s from ~1940 but I’d love to know if any hydrometry experts know anymore about when current meters like this would have been used?

As redemption stories go, there are few more dramatic than this. Getting to the finish line of the Spine Race can take year’s of preparation sacrifice and heartache. In this case 4 years of consistent effort resilience…
