A journey down the North’s most iconic river, by whatever means possible! This tour is for the adventurous, the inquisitive and those who want to make the most of their week away, seeing a journey through from start to finish. We travel by foot (walking or running), by bike, canoe or kayak and sometimes by swimming, from both the North and South sources of this river, to their mature state and finally to the sea at Tynemouth.
It’s not a race and guests can do as much activity as they like per day. It’s downhill all the way and there are many opportunities to “cut the corner” and to travel by alternate means including steam train, boat, or via our support vehicles. It’s completely up to you.
The tour is fuelled by cake, wonderful local food and beer and good company and is a magical 6 day journey that you’ll remember for a lifetime.
If you would like additional activities our guides will be only to happy to add in additional early morning swims or evening bike rides or walks along the valley. It’s your adventure, always!
Easy train journeys into Newcastle where this tour begins and ends allows for a hassle free start to your trip. Immerse yourself in the Northumberland countryside and forests, towns cities and beaches. Down the linear routes created by the rivers, from the high moors, through to the wide estuaries and the sea with a wide range of activities to get you there! Relax in the evenings in some of the best pubs known to man! Just bring yourself, some active wear and a sense of adventure and we’ll cover everything else.
