For a revitalising day in the great outdoors as we head to the Simonside Hills\, a Northumberland gem offering panoramic views\, peaceful woodland trails\, and windswept moorland ridges. This hike blends physical challenge with natural beauty\, making it ideal for those looking to stretch their legs\, clear their minds\, and spend time with a likeminded community. \nExpect rewarding climbs\, sweeping vistas across Northumberland and maybe even a glimpse of the Cheviots on a clear day. We’ll wrap up the hike with a well-earned rest and donuts! \n\nA Bit of Local History\nThe Simonside Hills have long held a mystical pull\, woven into Northumbrian folklore as the haunt of the Duergar – mischievous dwarves said to lead travellers astray. While we’re unlikely to meet any supernatural beings\, we will walk in the footsteps of ancient tribes\, shepherds\, and adventurers who’ve roamed this rugged landscape for centuries. \nSimonside’s sandstone crags also offer some of the best views in the county – it’s one of Northumberland’s most-loved hidden treasures. \n\nWhy This Matters\nTyne to Summit is all about reconnecting – with the land\, with each other\, and with ourselves. This event offers the space to get out of your head and into your stride\, to swap screen time for skyline\, and to meet new friends away from the rat race of city life. \n\nEvent Details\nDistance: Approx. 5 milesDifficulty Level: Moderate – includes some steep climbs and uneven terrainEstimated Duration: 3–4 hours\, including breaksTerrain: Forest paths\, open moorland\, rocky trails \n\nWhat to Bring\nClothing: \n\nWaterproof jacket and trousers (incase it rains)\nWarm\, breathable layers (it can be breezy on the summit)\nSturdy walking boots with good grip\nHat and sunglasses (fingers crossed for sun!)\n\nFood and Drink: \n\nAt least 1.5–2L of water\nHigh-energy snacks\nPacked lunch\n\nOther Essentials: \n\nFully charged phone\nSunscreen\nPersonal first-aid basics\nMoney/card if you’d like to go for a post-hike drink nearby (sadly we have to get back for the baby\, getting old eh!)\n\n\nPartners & Perks\nWe’re proud to be collaborating with some fantastic local businesses to make your day even sweeter: \n🍩 Deep North Donuts – Every attendee will receive a delicious handmade doughnut at the end or before the hike\, on the house! \n🥾 Grisport Boots Giveaway – One lucky participant will win a brand-new pair of Grisport walking boots – perfect for future hikes! \n🎯 Spin the Wheel Prize Game – Get ready to spin and win!
