Whitley Wander for an easy, laid back afternoon
6 people attending
14 places left
Join OutdoorLads for an easy level linear coastal walk around Whitley Bay in early springtime.
The route is a great introduction to this part of North Tyneside, rambling along at an easier pace on good paths or sand. The seafront has many halts for refreshments and benches to admire the many sea views.
This event makes use of the Metro service starting at one location and fiinishing more central at another.
If staying in the area you could also join the group for a social event later on the evening. This link will be updated very soon.
