Spiritual walking along parts of historic Hadrian's Wall & through Northumbria's national park
Fellowship with Christians of many traditions in the picturesque borders on a challenging and enjoyable route over the Cheviots.
From Melrose to Holy Island through the Scottish borders stunning landscape.
Beautiful walking, over shorter daily distances (10 miles approx) than most other Legs, following the coastline south via Berwick.
Steeped in English Christian history, & the footsteps of Northumbrian Saints, this crosses the dramatic Simonside Hills to reach the coast.
A different pace, centred in one place with walks adjustable between 3 - 7 miles, for families with children, all ages from babies & toddlers upwards, including older siblings through to young teenagers. All activities are children orientated.
- (previously St Ninian's & Iona Legs) A longer walk, taking one week to travel from the region of St Andrews, north of Edinburgh, to Lindisfarne. As with the successful routes in 2011 from Iona & 2012 from St Ninian's, this Leg will be unsupported, with bivi-bags / un planned camping. [The route can be provided on enquiry]
