Weekly walks all year round, highly regarded footpath maintenance work and a great way to make new friends – three good reasons to join Hexham Ramblers!

This delightful walk takes us into the Geltsdale RSPB Nature Reserve.
The walk covers the rolling fells of Geltsdale from Whinny Fell, then down Howgill and Cat Crag to the RSPB Visitor Centre, at Stagsike. We then circumnavigate most of Tindale Tarn with commanding views to the north and back to Clesketts.
The terrain is on well defined paths, which maybe boggy, and quiet country lanes.
Advance booking is required for this walk. To reserve your place, please e-mail the walk leaders, Sally and Paul, through the contact box above - and remember to include your mobile number in the e-mail. Please check your spam folder for any replies.
Booking opens on Monday, 6th October.
Note: This walk is limited to 16 walkers.
Meet at the small Clesketts car park at the RSPB Geltsdale - car sharing is strongly recommended due to limited parking. Please contact the walk leader if you wish to car share. Directions: From Hexham follow the A69 west for approximately 25 miles to a lefthand turn signposted Hallbankgate. After 1 mile, turn left at a give way onto the A689 (signposted Hallbankgate 1 mile). On entering Hallbankgate, turn second right (just after the Belted Will Inn) on Crossgates (brown signpost to Geltsdale Nature Reserve). After half a mile, the road bends turn sharp right and becomes a narrow, single track lane (signposted to Geltsdale). Continue for half a mile to arrive at the car park.
