Wine spy with my little pie, somewhere beginning with Alston
Sat 18th Dec 2021
Walk Details:
Alston, Garrigill, Ashgill force, Leadgate, Kirkhaugh and back to Alston. Dogs welcome on leads. Although this walk starts at the highest town in all England, this is mid December, so the route stays in the valleys, largely keeping away from exposed high ground. The walk will take about 8 hours. In the week prior to the walk please keep an eye on the Northumbria LDWA website and emails in case of any weather related changes to the plan

Walk Report
Rachael Musgrove's first lead. Took a chance on Alston in mid December and rewarded with absolutely gorgeous weather. Clear Blue Skies, sunshine, a perfect crisp winters day. Plenty of Apricity, which means the warmth of the winter sun. Hopefully the photo's in the gallery show this well. 21 walkers. Michelle and Brid keeping the pack together as backmarkers. 18.5 miles, 615 metres of ascent, took us 8 hrs and 15 minutes.Other Files
