    We will start to meet in the town centre of Bishop Auckland half an hour before the walk time, just outside of No. 42/ Bishop Auckland Library/ Sports Direct. I, the walk host, Tara, will be there in fancy dress holding a Papyrus flag and water bottle, and wearing my Papyrus hopewalk host lanyard. There we can introduce ourselves, put on name stickers if you would like to, take photo's and have a small break before we start the walk at 11AM. There are many shops to buy refreshments, and there are standard and disabled toilets inside the Newgate Centre (accessed by stairs or a lift) if you would like to utilise these before or after the walk. We will be walking on the footpath, which is fully accessible for people who use wheelchairs, walking aids and push chairs. The pathway for the whole route is flat, there are no steep hills. There will be 4 green man crossings we will use, and 6 road crossings that do not have a green man or zebra crossing.

    This walk is suitable for children, but they must be accompanied by an adult at all times!
    I will have bottled water available for anyone who would like one.
    There will be small gifts at the start with it being close to Halloween, and there will be a certificate at the end.
    There will be 3 walk times

    Each time we will meet half an hour before it starts, you can join all 3 walks if you wish. there is a longer time before the first and second walk to allow for a lunch break for myself and others joining in.
    It is free to join in with this walk, but if you would like to donate I have an online donation page or you can donate in person, on the day. Alternatively i can send you a copy of a sponser form to print, or you can set up your own donation page online. You can also share the event page on facebook where there will be a direct link to my online donation page!

    CALCULATE CALORIES

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
