Start of the walk at the Pumphouse, Shincliffe, Durham, Grid Reference NZ 286410. As you turn off the A177 onto the minor road to the Pumphouse there is limited parking immediately to the left. However, if you continue along the minor road for 200m, just beyond the Pumphouse/Amaani Restaurant, DH1 3PJ, on the right is a parking area for a large number of cars. Both parking areas are free. The leaders will be Paul Ashman and Paul Nellist

Circular 20 mile walk. Shincliffe, Durham Cathedral and City, Houghall Woods, Low Burnhall, Sunderland Bridge, Weardale Way to Holywell Hall, Croxdale Hall, High Croxdale, High Butterby Farm, Weardale Way via Shincliffe Woods back to Shincliffe.

So, a relatively flat walk, 410m of ascent, firstly a tour of the most scenic parts of Durham City and Cathedral, then a journey along the River Wear and the Weardale Way exploring the countryside to to South of Durham City. The walk will be done at the normal group social walk pace of 2.5 mph including stops. Plenty of scope to enjoy the sights along the way, and to put the world to rights with your fellow walkers
