Bolam Lake and Shaftoe Crags Circular
16 people attending
4 places left
Join us for a fantastic summer walk through some of Northumberland’s most beautiful landscapes.
This August we’re heading out for a social countryside adventure combining peaceful woodland paths, open farmland, impressive views and a great chance to meet new people along the way.
The 12K route takes us through a mixture of terrain, starting with calmer lakeside surroundings before heading out into more open countryside towards the dramatic rocky landscape of Shaftoe Crags. Expect wide views, fresh air, plenty of photo opportunities and a proper Outdoor Lads day out.
Whether you’re a regular walker, someone getting back outdoors, or simply looking for a friendly group adventure, this is a great opportunity to spend a summer day outside with like-minded people.
For those who wish to join us there will be an opportunity to have brew at the cafe if its open or we can head to e nearby pub for refreshments.
