🎟️ Free event (Limited spaces due to parking etc)

Event Overview

Join me for a slower, softer, soul-settling wander along the Derwent Walk, a gentle 2-mile route perfect for new mams, tiny bairns, and prams rolling side by side. This meet-up is designed to be calm, welcoming, and easy-going, giving you space to breathe, stroll, and connect with others who are right there in the thick of it too.

No rush, no pressure, no expectations. Just a relaxed loop through tree-lined paths, birdsong, and fresh air, with a café stop at the end to warm up and share a chat (Land of iron and oak cafe).

A Little About the Area

Derwent Walk follows the old railway line that once carried coal across the valley, now transformed into a peaceful green corridor that winds through woodlands, open views, and quiet nature pockets. It’s a simple path, but that’s its magic, easy terrain, easy atmosphere, easy company.

Why This Matters

At Tyne to Summit, our events aren’t about pushing limits, they’re about creating little moments. Space to talk, space to meet people who understand the messy, lovely chaos of early motherhood, space to feel grounded again.

This meet-up is for every mam who needs:
• A small breather
• A bit of adult conversation
• A calm morning outdoors
• A reminder that she’s not doing this alone

Because sometimes the smallest walks become the biggest relief.

Café and toilets are available on-site, and the route is fully pram-friendly.
