A trip to Newcastle - to see Dippy



We made a day trip to the Hancock Museum in Newcastle-upon-Tyne to see Dippy. This is the Natural History Museum's dinosaur that is currently doing a UK tour.

The fossilised remains are of a diplodocus

Dippy is huge, the head is about 20feet/6 metres off the ground


Over half of its length is tail
Toddlers had great fun running around the base pushing small carts


The Hancock also has a TRex fossil


Me, about to be TRex lunch
B, as a TRex, also looking for lunch

The Civic Buildings nearby, with seahorses

The River God
