A hike for Gateshead Health colleagues has been arranged by Tiffany Tierney, and will see colleagues gather at 11:30am on Saturday 25 October to walk the Rest Dodd and The Nab Circular.

The hike is a picturesque loop from Hartsop up to Angle Tarn in the Lakes, with more information on the walk itself available here, while you can also find a revuew & video about the walk on the Jim’s Walking Journey website. The walk is described as a perfect mix of scenery, peace and challenge, coming in at 14km with a 500m elevation.

Our newest group aims to provide colleagues with the chance to get out, enjoy a leg-stretch, some fresh air and good company. There’ll be plenty of breaks for chats, and some colleagues are even planning on staying overnight on the maiden trip.

For further information or to let Tiffany know you’re planning on coming, please email [email protected]. Please note that this is a social walk, not professional, and that attendance is at your own risk. Please check the weather and trail conditions, bring suitable boots, warm/waterproof layers, snacks and water.

It is hoped that the group’s hikes can be arranged every 4-6 weeks going forward – so keep an eye on the staff Facebook group for any future announcements!
