Four Hillforts of the Coquet Valley - 2021
On this guided walk we visited the four hill forts of the Coquet Valley around Rothbury - Old Rothbury hillfort, West Hill camp, Tosson Burgh hillfort and Lordenshaws hillfort
Ring Chesters - 2020
Driving up to Wooler on the A697 the weather looked awful for a walk in the hills – a constant drizzle, chilly and low cloud/mist covering even the smaller hills. Fortunately on arrival at our starting point at Hethpool visibility was greatly improved and it was dry and so it remained for the rest of the day.
Windy Gyle - 2020
As I drove through Rothbury heading ‘up the valley’ it was a wet old morning, not the best for walking one of the finest peaks in Northumberland. Thankfully, that was going to be the worse of the weather encountered that day.
The Cheviot - 2020
It was a glorious morning and the views and colours of the Harthope Valley were at their best as our group met at Langleeford. Although a much smaller number than usual due to the current Covid restrictions, the walkers were just pleased to be back out in the hills, and for two this was to be their first foray into the Cheviots.
Warkworth to Craster - 2019
It was a glorious October morning as we met at Craster ready to be transferred to the start of the day’s walk at Warkworth. There were 16 walkers – 13 were new to Shepherds Walks and Sam the beagle. On the minibus to Warkworth, Mark introduced himself and outlined the route and format for the day.
