Harwood Gate to Rothbury - 4 October 2025

The last time we did these routes was on a wet day at the start of January 2023. One of the groups also walked through Harwood Forest in deep snow on the way to Elsdon in November 2024. Now its towards the end of 2025 so after rain and snow the only weather has to be sunshine. 

You might also notice that we have missed a walk date on the 27 September. This is because quite a few members of the club are on holiday in Cyprus for a week and return on the 27th. So we have moved the programme back one week to the 4 October. To get us back on track the next walk day will be as usual on 18 October.
