hospital. A man charged with raping a boy in

While most people were enjoying a restful bank holiday, more than 100

:01:51.:01:53.

swimmers started their new year in a far more chilly way. The annual

:01:54.:01:56.

Whitley Bay swim attracted plenty of attention.

:01:57.:02:02.

The cold might put most people off, but not this lot. More than 100

:02:03.:02:07.

people will put on their swimming costumes and costumes for the annual

:02:08.:02:13.

New Year's Day swim at Whitley Bay. It's just something different, a

:02:14.:02:17.

nice way to start the New Year, get the hangover cure as quickly as I

:02:18.:02:22.

possibly can. I had a great time and raised some money.

:02:23.:02:25.

It was cold and refreshing! We had a couple of Baileys, so we're fine!

:02:26.:02:28.

New Year's Day, start of the New Year, just do something a bit mad!

:02:29.:02:32.

It was really good, but freezing cold. The atmosphere is amazing.

:02:33.:02:35.

Freezing, but good. I'd do it again next year.

:02:36.:02:41.

I didn't agree to two years! It is organised by the Panama Open

:02:42.:02:45.

Water Swimming Club and some managed to go in a little bit further than

:02:46.:02:49.

others. The sun put in a very brief appearance but it is freezing out

:02:55.:03:02.

:03:03.:03:06.

the arrival of 2014 in the more traditional way last night with

inspired by Norse mythology and North East traditions.

Football, and a miserable day for our Premier League sides.

:03:20.:03:23.

Sunderland's relegation fears increased with a 1`0 home defeat to

Aston Villa. And ten`man Newcastle United suffered back`to`back losses,

:03:28.:03:30.

losing by the same score at West Brom.

:03:31.:03:34.

In the Championship there was frustration for Middlesbrough as

they conceded a late goal to draw 2`2 at Bolton. In League One,

:03:38.:03:43.

Carlisle lost 2`1 at Crewe. And in League Two Hartlepool suffered a bad
