This was a new challenge for 2013 and we have teamed up weith Shepherd's Walks again for 2014. THhe route is ideal for anyone wanting to do something a little different or push themselves that little further. The Northumberland Coastline offers walkers stunning views over the North Sea, passing iconic shoreline features whilst enjoying the great outdoors in all its splendour.
This 26-mile linear walk covers the fantastic Northumberland Coastal line from just North of Bamburgh to Alnmouth.
Route
After checking in on the morning of the walk in Alnmouth, transport is provided to the starting point near to Bamburgh. Participants then follow the Northumberland Coastal path back to Alnmouth. Support vehicles will be on standby, water stations, and emergency first aid cover will all be present on the day. As well as receiving a sponsorship pack when registering, every participant will receive a goody bag at the end of a great day's walking.
Registration
Places are limited so reserve your place early and start your training. Places cost £27.50 and can be booked direct through the Coastal Challenge website, or by filling in and returning the downloadable application form on the right-hand side of this page.
