Places that do outdoor activites in Newcastle/Tyne & Wear Kinda following on from my other thread about outdoor activities, does anyone know of any places in the area that organise things like walking, climbing, canoeing etc? I need to find as many places as possible for work placement opportunities. I know there's Whickham Thorns Centre, but I'm not familiar with anywhere else. Advice appreciated
northumberland national park is probably your best bet close to home mate (technically not tyne and wear but not a million miles away) it does sailing and caneoing, and also fishing - i go up as often as i can in the summer. and if its placement stuff your after its run by the national parks trust so it wont be short of a job or 2! http://www.northumberlandnationalpark.org.uk/lookingafter/jobsandcareers/jobs.htm
Yeah already got Beamish on my list Carter, didn't have that one though Dan. Cheers both of you Hopefully I'll get something sorted, I have about 10 places now. Hmm, on second inspection, the N. National park is a mission away as far as day to day travelling goes ;(
What/where are they? I'm keen on sorting out a weekend of this for me and my mates, haven't done rock climping/canoeing/scrambling etc since Howtown when I was at school!

Most of these places have a website if you do a search.
haha well it's sticking with the theme of activities, at least. And that was thrown in there originally because we're going go-karting in the next few weeks and needed suggestions Oh, and what's wrong with Newburn?
its a bit of a trek but otterburn is unreal for outdoor activities,had some belter days out up there, don't go if you've got vertigo though.
