Walking

Status:Active, open to new members
Contact:
When: Fortnightly on Wednesday mornings 10:00 am

Convenor: Jane Tel: 07508 363165

We meet fortnightly and the venue varies (please refer to the programme below for information).

All walks start at 10 a.m. unless otherwise stated and are usually around 5 miles and of no more than medium difficulty. We generally finish with a pub lunch or similar, but there is no obligation to stay. Please inform the leader if you intend to walk (not later than 9.00 pm on the evening before). If there is any doubt about the walk going ahead because of the weather, please ring the leader on the morning of the walk.

If you are leading a walk it is sensible to have a mobile phone with you, if you have one, and to make your number available to the other walkers so if anyone is delayed in reaching the meeting point or needs to contact you for any reason once you have left home, they can do so.

2 September - Stanhope in the Durham Dales
- Approaching either via Blanchland or the A68 and Edmundbyers,  we will meet at the Durham Dales Centre in Stanhope (plenty of free parking, loos etc).
- We walk south-east out of the town then south up towards moorland through the Shittlehope Burn Valley. Returning north-west above the town then down to a lower level, walking along the top of the stone quarries that, along with lead,  made Stanhope wealthy in its day.  Lovely views all the way.   Walking poles are advisable for those who use them.
If the weather forecast nearer the day is terrible we can choose to do the local walk round Hexham we did last year instead.  
- Lunch will be at at the Cavaliere, a new cafe/bar/restaurant which has opened in the Durham Dales Centre. There is no need to pre-book but you can find the menu online if you wish.
