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. We had a walking programme set up and we had already completed the first five walks of that programme. The last one was from Masham…

Greenhead to Brampton - 9 December 2023 We do not often get to do a walk on the west side of Hadrian's Wall. Usually, we tend to walk east to west with a finish at Twice Brewed.

We have visited Castle Carrock three times in the past, in…
