General Notes
Debrief/ drinks in the Blue Bell before returning to the cars so put some money in your pocket. Good boots and gaiters recommended as there will be some clarty spots. One coffee and a lunch stop. Not a very strenuous walk with only a couple of pulls. About 3 mile of very quiet road work too so an ideal walk to get some mileage in. Please note that by attending this walk you agree to the Northumbria LDWA group rules with regards to: a) Dogs are welcome on leads, but owners must have up to date public liability insurance b) Photographs of people must be with the full consent of those people for the taking and distribution of the photographs
