Walk Report
Excellent day yesterday weather wise, to lead a 20 mile walk for Northumbria LDWA around Durham and surrounding countryside. 23 turned out and had a good day..A bar of chocolate as the prize kept them in line. Nice pint at the Rose Tree in Shincliffe when we finished. ( Paul Ashman)Other Files
