Happy days on a CPD visit with my NewcastleCityGuides colleagues around the history of Jarrow. Started at @jarrowhall museum and farm. Hive Coffee Company for lunch. My walking tour early afternoon and finishing with the wonderful St Paul’s church. Just a lovely day with special people.

So excited to announce this year's History Hike. Last year we raised £710 for Macmillan walking from Newcastle to Alnwick and sharing the local history on the way. This year i'm doing 50 miles between Hexham and Hartlepool in aid of North East Autism Society. gofundme.com/f/nehls-histor… 🧵

Do you think you have what it takes to be a Newcastle City Guide? If you love history, enjoy talking to people and are up for a year of hard graft training then you might just be who we are looking for. Sounds like you? Then DM me your details.

42 members of the public were treated to a walk last night in Newcastle city centre, based around the life & times of the great Wood Engraver Thomas Bewick. All thanks to the excellent NewcastleCityGuides

Found this somewhere in Northumberland. No prizes for guessing where but do have a go!

Sadly due to the threat of disruption our Highlights walk on Saturday has been cancelled. Stay safe all.

So sad to see JG Windows close. We always featured them on our City Highlights tour. Truly a Newcastle icon.
