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 Nature Reserve.
The walk covers rolling hills from Forest Head, then down Howgill and Cat Crag, past the RSPB Visitor Centre at Stagsike. We then circumnavigate the southern path near Tindale Tarn and return via a disused railway line and Clowsgill Holme.
The terrain is on well defined paths which may be boggy in places 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 Hallbankgate Village Hall (the Thompson Memorial Hall) - 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). The village hall is on your right on Crossgates. Please park courteously in the village.
