Next Saturday’s Walk
If you are planning to come on next Saturday’s Footpaths Group walk, please note that the starting point is now the Cornhill Village Hall car park at 10 am. The route has had to be shortened, and will now be 4.5 miles. These changes are because part of the byway from Wark to West Learmouth is too overgrown to attempt. Everyone is welcome on this walk, including well-behaved dogs on leads. For more information, see the poster on our Walks page.
Next Footpaths Group Walk
The next walk organised by the footpaths group will be on Saturday 15 June 2024, starting at 10 am. This 5.5 mile circular walk starts and ends in Wark and is on footpaths, byways and the old railway line. Everyone welcome, including well-behaved dogs on leads. For more information, see the poster on our Walks page. If you would like to know more about the route itself, there is a report from the last time it was walked under “By Railway and Byway” on the same page.
Mindrum Farm Walk
The Footpaths Group had arranged to visit Mindrum farm in December last year, but the walk had to be cancelled because of the weather. It has now been rearranged for Thursday 7 March, starting at 10 am.
This is another chance to enjoy a five-mile guided walk around this mixed organic farm with Tom Fairfax who will be talking about regenerative farming and other developments since the Footpaths Group visited in 2019. Everyone is welcome, including well-behaved dogs on leads. For more information, see the poster on our Walks page.
It would be helpful to have some idea of numbers, so if you plan to come along please email the walks organiser or send a text to 07557 211 564. We hope you’ll be able to join us!
Next Footpaths Group Walk
The next walk organised by the footpaths group will be on Saturday 17 February 2024, starting at 10 am. This 4.5 mile circular walk starts and ends in Pressen and is via footpath, lane and bridleway. Everyone welcome, including well-behaved dogs on leads. For more information, see the poster on our Walks page. For a description of the route scroll down to see the 9 April 2022 report under “Pressen and Piperdean Lane Circular.”
Footpaths Group Walk Cancelled
Tomorrow’s guided walk around Mindrum farm has had to be cancelled, due to the weather. The back lanes are particularly bad in these freezing conditions, and there is a thick covering of snow over the farmland. The walks organiser hopes to re-schedule this walk when conditions improve.
