One of the biggest weekly decisions in our house is where to go walking at the weekend. Yes, we have the wonderful Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle but there are still obstacles - stiles, narrow paths, fence lines, thick vegetation. But we've discovered some great places nearby. The below are mostly upland sites as that's our preferred habitat - I'll add others as we find them. Of course with the child carrier now in use, the sky is the limit but I expect there will still be times we choose to take the buggy.
1. Fourlaws Forestry Commission, near Ridsdale, Northumberland - up to 4 mile round trip on ok forestry track, bumpy in parts. NY926835
2. Derwent Reservoir, County Durham - 7 mile round trip along one half of the reservoir edge. All flat walking on cycle path.
3. The Waskerley Way, County Durham - 9.7 miles one way on a good cycle path. Potential for shorter hops.
4. Slaley Forest, Northumberland - potential for several miles depending on exact route taken on ok to good forestry tracks.
5. Prudhoe Country Riverside to Newburn - a lowland walk along the Tyne, 8 miles round trip.
