Allenheads 3 Allendale Town 10

Allenheads to Allendale Town - 26 November 2022 No, the title of this post is not a football result, it's the number of times we have visited both Allenheads and Allendale Town. The last time we ended the walks in Allenheads was in September 2013 when we started from St John's Chapel and the last time we finished in Allendale…

Lucky Number Three

Hexham to Haydon Bridge - 29 October 2022 The first time we visited Haydon Bridge was in 1999. Nearly 19 years later we visited again in 2019 and here we are again with lucky number three in 2022. We do not keep records of what the weather was like at all the places we visit and it is doubtful if…

It is also not that often that we have…

Getting Close to Home

Thockley to Wylam - 5 February 2022 Here's another first for 2022, Throckley to Wylam, we have never finished at Wylam before and I am not sure we have started so close to home. We did the Red Kite Trail some years ago so I guess that is pretty close as well but that walk was not actually planned but…
