HUNDREDS of brave souls marked the first day of 2026 with a chilly dip in the icy North Sea.

Dippers and runners take on 2026 in style

The first HogmanHoway 5K race takes place in Newcastle city centre

Despite air temperatures barely being above freezing, a hardy group of people blew the Christmas cobwebs away by taking part in the Whitley Bay New Year's Day Dip.Young and old, some donning costumes and raising money for charity, others wearing just their swimming costumes and trunks, met at the Rendezvous Cafe entrance before making the freezing plunge moments later. Despite a water safety alert being in place along the North East coast for rip currents and large waves, the annual event passed safely.
