Walk Report
In retrospect it may well have been better to actually start this walk in Edmundbyers. Plenty on street parking is available in Edmundbyers and there are a couple of pubs in the village for drinks afterwards. Rowley Station car park is a bit more out of the way. The walk turned out to be 19.5 miles in the end with about 2.500ft of ascent. (Paul Nellist)Other Files
