What you need to Walk Northumbria

Boots and warm waterproof clothing are essential in all seasons; I may not be able to take you if you are inadequately equipped. On all of the walks you should bring a packed lunch, a flask with a hot drink and a bottle of water. Due to the potential hazard to wildlife and livestock, I regret that no dogs are allowed on programmed walks.

To join a walk all you need to do is telephone or "e-mail" - I will make a booking and advise you on the nature of the walk. When I have received your fee I will send you a confirmation sheet containing details of the start map references for the walks that you have booked.
