The End of a Short Year

Old Felton to Weldon Bridge - 18 December 2021 Well, it's the end of a short year and a rather long two years. When we did this walk as our last one in December 2019 we really had no idea what was coming in 2020. We managed to get six walks in at the start of that year, the last…

Forestburn Gate to Dyke Neuk (PH) - 4 December 2021 A bit of a change this time around, we were originally planning some routes from Rothbury to Longframlington but it looked increasingly difficult to find somewhere to park the coach in Longframlington so it was decided to change the routes completely.

There Is Only One

Skeeby to Richmond -  9 October 2021 There are considered to be 57 places in the world called Richmond but the Richmond we are going to is in the Yorkshire Dales and has been there since around 1071 so you could say that for us there is only one. The last time we were in Richmond was just over two…
