Gutted I'm at work today as would have loved to have seen it happen

Anybody set up at their viewing point for the lift yet?

Going along in a few minutes just going to look from under the Wearmouth Bridge.

Is the lift this morning for certain?

GPS Avenger is still at Corporation Quay, I'm keeping an eye on it's movements, high tide isn't till 3pm, not sure if that will have any impact on the lift as the river isn't dredged as far as the new bridge.
UPDATE
Looks like GPS Avenger is moving from the Quay

Was planned to be unless it's too windy. Seems okay at the minute

 

[richest]

Yes perfect conditions

I think I will have a walk around on my lunch, hopefully someone gets some good footage

Quite bizarre that I'm checking for updates of a large piece of metal being lifted in the air. It's canny exciting though

You beat me to that one

Bit gutted that I can't capture any of it on the drone but I might have a wander down at lunchtime to have a look.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Very low tide atm, think it'll be a few hours before it heads up river. Hospital appointment cancelled, gonna take the dag for a wander up.

It was heading up when I went over the bridge just after 9. Very impressive site.
