HOMESICK Geordies from around the world are expected to bombard a Tyne Bridge website on New Year's Eve, pushing visitors to the site to over a million just weeks after it was launched.
Gateshead Borough Council's website, at www.tynebridgewebcam.com, has attracted more than 850,000 hits, with well over half the visitors coming from outside the UK.
Cyber Geordies have hailed from the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Africa.
The webcams, which have been sponsored by Telewest, will be one of the best ways to see the spectacular New Year's Eve celebrations on the banks of the River Tyne.
Internet users can also view the webcams by logging on to www.gateshead-quays.com, which provides details on the developments at Gateshead Quays.
