0 Comments

 
Northumberland Coastal Run 2023 will take place on 17th September 2023 at 9.30 am (approx)
Alnwick Harriers will be once again hosting the Northumberland Coastal Run 2023, with the date being later in the year to accommodate the nesting birds on National Trust Land.
We are aiming to open registration on the 9th February at 6pm and are expecting it to be sold out on the same day, so please add this to your calendar. The costs this year will be £32 for affiliated runners and £34 for all those not affiliated. The coach to the start will be provided at a cost of £6 per head. This year you will be asked if you require a T-Shirt rather than automatically providing one, these will cost £10.
Please note this year there will be no option to transfer or receive any refunds once registered. It is also suggested that if you are unsure if you need the bus seat, please book it, as we are unable to provide more spaces at a later date.

​The route will go back to its original format so we will be heading directly to Alnmouth crossing the Beadnell Bay Beach

Durham Dales Challenge - Saturday 17th June 2023

17/6/2023

0 Comments

 
I am the chair of the Northumbria Long Distance Walker’s Association. As well as a regular walking programme we organise our annual flagship event; the Durham Dales Challenge. 2023 will be the 31st staging of this event, which will take place on Saturday 17th June. The event offers two routes of 14 or 30 miles. The challenge is purely to complete either of the routes in the allowed time, 12 hours for the 30 mile route, 9 hours for the 14 mile route. It is not a race, rather a personal challenge. 

The location for the event is the magnificent Weardale and Teesdale. Beautiful stone built towns and villages, verdant valleys, high moorland and forest offer the walkers and runners a splendid day out in the Durham Dales. Both routes start at Wolsingham DL13 3AN with the longer 30 mile route going to Middleton in Teesdale via Hamsterley Forest and then returning via Bollihope and River Wear. The shorter route of 14 miles traverses Pikestone Fell and returns via Bollihope and River Wear.  We provide refreshments at checkpoints and the finish.

I am hoping some of your members may be interested in our event which does incur a small cost to each entrant of £15 for a LDWA member and £20 for non-members.  Entry is remarkably easy using the online SI Entries site: -

www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?elid=Y&event_id=10643
 
Our regular walking programme aims to organise about two walks a month ranging from 15 to 25 miles in length, over the moorland, rural or coastal areas. Each walk in our programme has a leader, who selects and plans the route, and the walks are undertaken at a reasonable and sociable pace to accommodate people of varying abilities; as guidance we walk at approximately 2.5 miles per hour. For more information about the Long Distance Walkers Association itself, both national and local, please see the websites: -

8/1/2023

0 Comments

 
An out and back race to the summit of one of the Cheviots highest points.  This is early Jan so you’ll need to tackle whatever the weather throws at you.  Previous years have had snow, sleet, bogs, high winds and always a little bit of special sauce thrown in.  When you get back you get dunked in a river and then warmed up with a hot soup.

​Iconic scenery such as Reaveley Hill, Cunyan Crags, Dunmoor, Hedgehope and a bit of the dreaded Comb Fell.  Hosted at Ingram cafe which is a prime location for coffee, cakes and all things designed to destroy diets.
