Sunday 7th October Finchale Abbey walk
This was yet another lovely walk and the first one this year with a decidedly Autumnal feel to it. We started in a skinny little parking lane by the side of what seemed to be a Formula 1 practice track! … Continue reading
Waters Meet: 29th September
Part two of Kev’s double-header was a short sprint more than a long distance walk. Like the 60m sprint at the indoor athletics. We started out near the bridge at Warden and then dipped between the few pretty houses and … Continue reading

Walwick Fell walking: Sunday 23rd September 2018
We started off the new programme with an afternoon walk courtesy of Kevin Hilton. Starting out on a sunny day we left from Kev’s house in Newbrough and followed the road up and through the village. And up. And … Continue reading

A Christmas walk from Corbridge 17th December 2017
Our Christmas walk is one of the highlights of our walking year. It’s the one walk of the year where we can guarantee most of our children (now rapidly growing up) will turn up and walk with us. The enticement … Continue reading

Wylam Wanderings 26th November 2017
Now I like a nice bit of complicated map reading as much as the next man, but sometimes you want a nice easy walk on a good footpath and an itinerary that doesn’t involve a compass, GPS triangulation and returning … Continue reading
Witton Gilbert ramblings 29th October 2017
I work near Witton Gilbert and so the drive to get to this walk was rather like going to work on a Sunday. Which can never be a good thing. Thankfully this walk was a good thing. The early segment … Continue reading
Heavensfield & Fallowfield 8th October 2017
We have walked in and around Heavensfield many, many times over the years. This was the first time we had started a walk here and probably the only time we hadn’t visited St Oswald’s church. Nonetheless, we had an excellent … Continue reading
Straying into Cumbria 17th September 2017
For logistical reasons most of our walks are based in County Durham or Northumberland; most of us live there and our walks are relatively easy to get to. A long drive home is often more tiring than the drive to … Continue reading
Looping along the river Coquet September 3rd 2017
It’s quite daunting leading your first walk even with a group of friends you have known for years. What if you get lost? What if the footpaths are blocked? What if it rains? What if someone falls and breaks their … Continue reading
