WeeCountyMan Posted June 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I believe this retail centre is near the Port of Tyne - is it walkable from where FO ships are located ? It appears to be on the north side of the river, and I can't remember if Fred berths on the south or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Colin_Cameron Posted June 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yes, about half-a-mile. (But it is uphill) Google maps, satellite view, actually has Balmoral in port. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeCountyMan Posted June 16, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Thanks Colin. Apolgies for appearing dense - just to sure, FO berths near the Outlet Centre ? It's not clear on the maps I found. Edited June 16, 2019 by WeeCountyMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Colin_Cameron Posted June 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Just follow the road that the Outlet Centre is on, Coble Dene, towards the river. Just before you go Splash! the ferry/cruise terminal is on your right and the usual berth is on your left (we did once dock right at the terminal). About half a mile uphill towards the outlet, but that means once you’re laden with packages it’s downhill back to the ship. Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeCountyMan Posted June 16, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks. Glad to hear the hard bit uphill is unladen !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted June 17, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2019 https://royalquaysoutletcentre.com/stores/ Here is a a list of the shops available. There seems to be more than there were the last time we were there (perhaps due in some parts to more frequent cruise ship visits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
