1. Sledge down Atlee Bank

And sledgeded into the Clayton (bravely) on my one and only visit ever. Never again. More like things to do in Bedlington if you want to die!

2. Roll a cabbage down the slope at the back of Tesco's

3, Spend a night in the cells

4. Skateboard down the furnace bank (standing up)

5. slide down the old waste shute at humford woods!

6. crash a car into the terrier wall!

what happens if you just rap it and don't fall in the river? does that count?

8. climb up the center support of the black bridge without a safety rope.

9. Swim in the river at Plessey/The Dam

RACE through the black bridge on the two planks of wood that run the length of the bridge and jumping through the oval shaped holes that intersect the bridge at regular intervals bearing in mind that its a bloody long way down if you misjudge your steps...... what a track that was .... OH and we had a swing that we hung from a tree on the way down to Humford Baths it must have been a 50 foot drop (nowt compared to the bridge lol) and see how many you can get to swing at once.... well thats two things to do that I recall. OR two ways to die in Bedlington whatever terminology you choose.lol

I have run through the the black bridge on the two planks, and that was when the trains were running. We also had a swing from the bridge and as you say it was a bloody long drop, some thig else you might try which we did on numerous occasions was gaining access to the bridge by climing up the steel super structure, there again we didn't have tele or computers.

10. Rock the town with an (accidental) explosion whilst launching an "experimental" rocket from a secret site in Plessey Woods.

It was going on for 50 years ago now, and at last the truth can be told. Well... almost!

11 - Watch the demise of the front street.

12 Reminisce about the good old days on the front street... Fair day, Miners picnic and the like...

13 - Ooh, and watch a bike race down the front street, bringing some of the old spirit back...

I want to hear more......

I said well... almost! But you might still find an ancient shard of aluminium somewhere within a quarter of a mile radius. All I found was a few bits of fin.

Anyway, the second much smaller one worked well, proving the unique (hydrogen disulphide) fuel wasn't quite as tricky as it seemed. But it was a daytime launch from Horton way, and the resulting smoke trail descending townward suggested that anything bigger (which got off the pad) would undoubtedly attact too much interest to be healthy for inquisitive teenagers.

Went the way of Bluestreak, Black Knight, and TSR2 I'm afraid. Only plus was Bedlington's space program resulted in no mega-loss to the British taxpayer. Not even a window or two.

roll in an old beer barrel the length of front street to see if i can get dizzy enough.

See some decent choice of shops, so I don't have to leave Bedlington to get what I need!
