The 130 mile walk covers both sources, the North and South Tynes, which
are marked by giant stone monuments.
This NEW EDITION covers the three sections of the
walk, from the source of the " North Tyne at Deadwater, the source of
the South Tyne in the Pennine Hills and the course of the unified River Tyne from Warden to the coast.
Divided
into 12 convenient stages based on ease of access, with additional
entry and exit points, it enables walkers to create their own itinerary
for both long-distance and day walks.
On the River North Tyne, four
sections totalling 48 miles follow the river from its source to Warden.
On the South Tyne, four sections totalling 42 miles take the walker from
its source to where it meets the North Tyne at Warden; and the walk
along the River Tyne also comprises four sections travelling a total of
45 miles to the North Sea.
The stone at the North Tyne, near
the England-Scotland border, was erected in October 2013 specially to
mark the beginning of the trail. From tiny springs to streams and then
vibrant rivers, the two sources eventually converge to create the
powerful River Tyne as it journeys to the sea.
The nature of the
undulating terrain makes for a challenging and rewarding experience as
the trail passes through some of Britain s most beautiful and
interesting scenery.
This book is the brainchild of former businessman
Brian Burnie, the founder of the Cancer Patient Care Charity Daft as a
Brush .
Brian hopes that this walk will promote the work of the charity
which provides individualised transport for patients requiring cancer
treatment.
