On Sunday, 15th January, we had a great day taking photographs and checking out Jane's forthcoming A-walk - which is scheduled for 25th March, 2012.

We used the Manor House Hotel in West Auckland as our 'base camp'. From here we motored to Frosterley and did the circular walk in lovely frosty conditions.

We covered a distance of 16.3 miles with four major climbs that totalled about 2700 feet of ascent. Our moving average was 3.1 mph and our overall average was 2.4 mph.

The walk took us a total of 6 hours and 43 minutes (our moving time was 5.25 hrs and our stop time was 1.5 hrs). I guess we will have to 'speed up' on the day! We had just one refreshment stop near Sharnberry Gill {NZ 016 307}.

The First One

2012-01-12T05:36:00.001-08:00

On Sunday, 8th January, Phil Barker led the first SRC A-walk on the 2012 programme card. The walk commenced at Chop Gate and finished in Stokesley. We covered a distance of just over 16 miles and this involved a total ascent of approximately 1500 feet.

Our route took us from the Village Hall in Chop Gate to William Beck Farm, Tripsdale, Stump Cross, Badger Crags, Cockayne Head, The Incline (lunch stop), High Farm, West Wood Farm, Beck House, Meynell Hall (tea stop), Great Broughton and Kirby Bridge Farm before finally arriving at Stokesley.

The weather was quite reasonable - being a little warmer than some of us had anticipated. On the whole the conditions underfoot were fairly good. However, in some places the moorland tracks and field paths were a little muddy - but not enough to cause us any discomfort or impede our progress.

There were fifteen people in the group - this must surely be a record? The photo below shows the A-team as it approached the top of the first climb from Chop Gate up onto Black Intake en-route for Tripsdale.

Navigating the Weardale Way

2011-12-13T04:04:00.000-08:00

On Sunday, 11^th December, Roger Blacklock led an enthusiastic team of nine SRC A-Walkers along the section of the Weardale Way that runs between Bishop Auckland and Durham City.

As we made our way along the banks of the River Wear, we sited no fewer than six herons - fine-looking birds they were too!

Just after crossing the road at Page Bank Bridge, we found a very pleasant lunch location overlooking the river's edge - sitting on the trunk of a fallen tree. Unfortunately, disaster soon struck when the old tree-trunk upon which we were sitting suddenly collapsed - causing considerable damage to Maggie's walking pole! Fortunately, nobody was injured and after a very pleasant lunch we were able to continue our trek to Durham - taking a short tea-stop in Shincliffe Wood.

Thanks for a great day Roger.

Levada Walking in Madeira

2011-12-01T06:44:00.000-08:00

During the week of the 14^th through 21^st November, Jane Thompson and Phil Barker undertook a 'winter expedition' to Madeira in order to walk along some of the famous levadas.

We established our 'base camp' at the Porto Mare Hotel {N 32° 38.261' W 16° 56.002'} in the Funchal area - see the picture below.

In order to facilitate any navigational issues that might have arisen, we took our GPS facility with us on our trip. This was an invaluable tool for locating the start of our walks and recording our routes along those levadas that we chose to explore.

Prior to our walking expeditions, we entered the locations of strategic points into the GPS as latitude and longitude settings. These were very useful - especially where we had to find 'link-up' routes between different levadas.

As well as completing some of the levadas, we also climbed to the top of the highest peak on the island - Pico Ruivo at 6200 feet.

Hadrian's Wall Walk - Recent Successes

2011-05-26T04:58:00.000-07:00

On Friday, 20th May, two of our A-walkers (Jane Thompson and Lorraine Matthews) successfully completed the Hadrian's Wall Walk. They covered the 84 mile route over five days - walking in an easterly direction from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend. The pictures below show Jane and Lorraine arriving at Wallsend.

Previously, John Barchan and Colin Lambert also completed this walk. However, they did the route in the opposite direction - going west from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway. Anne McGovern and a group of friends have also completed the walk successfully.

In my opinion, the most picturesque part of the walk is the section that lies between Greenhead {NY 660 654} in the west and Chollerford {NY 918 706} in the east. This is undoubtedly the part of the walk that seems to have had most money invested in it - in terms of wall preservation and areas of interest to visit.
