A Salubrious Coach Journey

Powburn to Glanton - 2 March 2024 We are going on a salubrious coach journey, all the way from North Tyneside to Glanton in Northumberland.

Covid Stopped Us Going Out

Lambley to Alston - 17 February 2024 Covid stopped us going out may seem an odd title for this post but bear with it and all shall be explained. The year 2020 started quite normally.

It's only ever been done twice before in 2006 and again in 2017 so it's an unusual day for the club but at least it keeps our walking programme to a fortnightly event with the next walk happening on the 6th…
