Footpath Linking Newsham and New Hartley, nice walk, jog or cycle between the two.
Not really much to say about the area, it's linking the old mining area's/villages and passes between and around farmland. Enjoyable to walk, jog or cycle along, with linking route to the edge of Seaton Delaval.
New Hartley end of the trail is at the bottom corner of the village and there is a newsagents/general dealer in the village. Newsham end is next to the roundabout at South Newsham Road and Newcastle Road, with a cycle path leading to Cramlington and down to Blyth beach.
Surface is uneven, rough dirt track, and narrows to a single width at one point so not very suitable for wheelchairs or children in buggies/prams, hence I've marked the terrain as a difficulty of 2. Otherwise there are no access problems except after very heavy rain where one section can become flooded to an extent.
Cache is a small clip-top box with log book, pencil and sharpner.
Starting contents are: a Queen Victoria old Penny from year 1899, small toy compass, kids puzzle, coloured mini hi-lighter and a couple of small beads/deco-stones.
**Edit** - I need to get out and check this one as it's been in place for quite some time, hopefully get over to it later this week/this weekend. Any updates on the status/condition of the cache itself would be helpful beforehand so I can take a few bits with me - thanks guys :-)
