Who We Are

Welcome to Tyne To Summit, where every hike is a new story waiting to be written! Created by locals, joined by like-minded people.

Founded by partners in crime, Scott (@geordieramblers) and Steph (@geordie_hiker), our mission is simple: to create a safe, welcoming space where like-minded people can enjoy being in nature and connect with fellow adventurers who share a passion for the outdoors.

At Tyne To Summit, we’re not just a walking group; we’re a community. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or taking your first steps into the world of walking, we’re here to support and encourage you every step of the way. Nestled in the stunning heart of Northumberland, we’re lucky to call one of the UK’s most spectacular yet underexplored National Parks our home. From rolling hills to hidden waterfalls and ancient woodlands, Northumberland offers a natural playground bursting with beauty and history. Recently crowned the best National Park in the UK, it’s still one of the least explored – and we’re on a mission to change that by inviting you to discover its wonders with us.

But Tyne To Summit isn’t just about trails and scenery; it’s about slowing down in a fast-paced world. In today’s whirlwind of social media notifications and business pressures, it’s easy to lose ourselves in endless scrolling and deadlines. Stepping into nature offers a reset – a chance to breathe, recharge, and reconnect with what really matters.

Why Join Us? Did you know that spending time in nature can reduce stress, boost creativity, and even improve your memory? Studies show that as little as two hours a week in green spaces can have incredible benefits for your mind, body, and soul. Replacing screen time with green time is like hitting refresh for your mental health – helping you feel calmer, more focused, and genuinely happier.

Here are a few mind-blowing reasons to join our walks: Improved Mental Health: Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, lifting your mood and enhancing your outlook on life. Enhanced Physical Wellbeing: Walking in the fresh air strengthens your heart, boosts energy levels, and improves overall fitness. Social Connection: Meeting like-minded adventurers creates lasting friendships and a true sense of belonging. Mindfulness in Motion: The rhythm of walking through tranquil landscapes clears your mind and helps you rediscover balance.

At Tyne To Summit, we believe hiking isn’t just about the destination – it’s about the journey and the people you share it with. Whether you’re unwinding after a busy week or challenging yourself with a new trail, our hikes offer a chance to reconnect with nature, yourself, and a fantastic community.

Joining us isn’t just an opportunity to explore the great outdoors; it’s a way to reclaim your time and energy in a world that never stops. It’s a chance to laugh, discover, and create unforgettable memories with a supportive and inspiring group of people.

So, whether it’s your very first hike or your hundredth, lace up your boots and step into an adventure with Tyne To Summit. Let’s explore together, share stories, and enjoy the magic of nature – one step at a time.

Your next journey starts here. Will you join us?
