Walk Report
Walk devised by Ricky Scott, but due to Ricky being injured was led by Dave Clifton on the day. Although the LDWA often walk in countryside, moorland and mountainous areas, this walk showed that some excellent, informative and entertaining walks can be found in more urban and suburban areas, exemplified by the fact we found ourselves walking up Northumberland Street amongst the festive crowds on a Saturday afternoon. 20 miles in the end, 350m of ascent, taking us about 8.5 hours. 22 walkers. At the end of the walk Ricky Scott provided an excellent last "checkpoint" at his home for drinks and buffet.Other Files
