Discover great valleys carved by ice through heather covered fells. Understand how rocks shaped industry and feel the challenges facing former pit villages. Explore former industrial cities that have been regenerated and given a new identity. Enjoy the peace of stunning hills and coasts. '

'A small group of walkers from the North East of England. Each week the walks that the group enjoy are recorded on this site, with photographs to illustrate the countryside that they have covered. Each walk is accompanied by a Route Description. The group walks almost every week in the year, and each walk is about 10 miles long.'

'Caters for many kinds of walking, from an organised challenge event to informal strolls. The only criterion is that all walks should be enjoyable, provide friendship, exercise and stimulation for the body and mind.'

'Rambling, mainly in Northern England.' Details of over 100 walks.
