The first of the geowalks for 2024 are now up in the geowalks section with more to come.

As last year, these walks are all bookable to ensure that the number of people attending is manageable so that I can make it as good an experience as I can for everyone. I will be trialling a of “pay-what-you-feel”. I respectfully suggest £15 for the half day events and £20 for the full day events. If this is not affordable for you – pay less – no questions asked. Equally, if you are able to pay more, this will help me to ensure the walks are sustainable. As before, family members under 16 are very welcome and can come for free. The geowalks start on the Northumberland Coast, celebrating the geodiversity of the Northumberland Coast AONB, and will include some new locations. As last year these will be mixed in with some walks further north on the coast exploring the glorious landscape and geology of the Berwickshire Coast.  In addition there will be some walks in the Tynemouth area as well as a series of walks exploring the geology of St Cuthbert's Way.

As always there will be many fabulous rocks and fossils to find all set in the glorious land and seascape of the AONB and the Berwickshire Coast. In addition there will be a walk suported by Sunderland Council for the Heritage Open Days which I am leading, exploring the geology of Bishopwearmouth which includes the epic concretionary limestone. 

More walks will be added as the summer progresses with a schedule of walks going on into October.

The new, fully updated edition of the Northumberland Coast Rocks! including a new set of maps and artwork, is still available. To order a copy just email me and payment can be sorted either by bank transfer or by cheque. I also anticipate having the 2nd edition of the Berwick Coast Rocks! book out during the summer.
