Seaham Beaches

3/7/2021

A walk that we did a couple of weeks ago, while staying in Durham - the first time we've expored this remarkable coast. Our route was along beaches, promenade, roads and footpaths. This wasn’t the walk we had originally planned – we had intended a much shorter, circular route, starting off from the same place, but turning inland from the town centre. However, we decided to continue along the road to visit Blast Beach. The return trip, on a very hot, sunny afternoon did seem like a long trek along the road.

Seaham Beaches (approx. 6½ miles) - County Durham Coast

A Wander along the Wenning (approx. 5¹/3 miles)

The 2nd walk for 2020 - with plenty of variety: riverside, woodland and a chance to explore High Bentham. About a quarter of the route is along roads. There is an option to shorten the walk.

Brigsteer from Sizergh Castle (approx. 4 miles)

21/6/2020

We actually completed this walk just before the full lockdown due to corona virus pandemic - there was no real point oin posting it until the National Trust car park was re-openend - which it is at the time of writing - BUT ALL VISITS MUST BE PRE-BOOKED.

These make the total for 2019 to 8 routes (so far) - which is a couple more than in recent years - but the walks are getting shorter - is this a sign of againg?

It's taken a while to get round to posting this - work preparing for our exhibition at inspire gifts and gallery in Lancaster took precedence :-)

... and 2 more walks (but I'm still one behind)

26/5/2019

The canal and coast walk is a variation on an earlier walk from a few years ago, whilst the walk around Tebay was mainly to add to my collection of photographs following the course of the river.

Two new walks for 2019 (and 2 more to come shortly)

24/4/2019

We had a gorgeous day for our continued exploration of the beautiful Arnside and Silverdale ANOB - it wasn't quite as sunny when we walked along the Lune from Kurkby Lonsdale to Whittington (but it dad stay dry!).

Warton Crag from Silverdale

1/5/2018

There's plenty of variety in this 8 mile walk which takes in coastal cliffs, and the summit of Warton Crag. Although much of the route follows clear paths, tracks or roads, there are some steep sections involving scrambles up rocky outcrops.

The First Walk of 2018 - Crummack Dale and Sulber Nick

We didn't complete many walks worth writing up last year - 2018 has got off to a better start. We had a brilliant winter day for this 8 mile route.
