I would like to thank you so much for this wonderful website and fantastic photographs. I lived in Newcastle in the ninties and it was the best time of my life. I studied Medicine at NCL University and worked at South Tyneside General Hospital. I came back home to kuwait in 2000 and I miss Newcastle so much. I can not thank you enough for the joy you brought to me by just looking at your photos.

Best Regards

Hi. I was interested by your ideas for walking Newcastle to Hexham so did your route in one go yesterday with the fiancee for the bank holiday and we loved it! Thanks for posting your route, some of the views were just lovely and the instructions were brilliant, superb choice of route. Only bother was the bank at Farnley Scar has completely subsided into the river since you did it so had to find a way around! Ended in the County Hotel in Hexham for a well deserved pint.

Thanks again,

Hello and thasnks. Must've been tiring doing it all in one, well done, plenty of refreshment stops on the way though :)
Thanks for the heads up about Farnley Scar, I will edit the post and mention it.
