About the event

Simonside from Rothbury (8mi, 1200ft, easy/mod)
For the first walk of the new year, how about a bimble up to Simonside from Rothbury? Starting by the River Coquet the walk will take us past Sharpe's Folly in Whitton and then to the hillfort and cup and ring stones of Lordenshaw. We will then gradually climb onto the Simonside ridge and follow it along, with wonderful views to Northumberland, the Cheviot hills and beyond. After the descent from Simonside's summit, we will go through the woods to the peel tower in Great Tosson and then along the river back to Rothbury.

The walk follows established paths and tracks. The ascent is gradual. There is one steep descent (from Simonside itself). If it is too icy, or if you would like to make the walk easier, an alternative variant of 8mi 900ft is possible, omitting Simonside ridge and returning through the woods instead. Optional drink/meal in Rothbury after the walk.
