It's been an active outdoors week at St Chads! 🍂
We've made the most of the weather and had two Autumn walks.

🍁On Tuesday the monthly walking group did a big loop of Saltwell Park - a great time of year for turning leaves and finding acorns, conkers and beech nuts.
🍁On Wednesday the men's group had a walk around Hedley Hall Woods, near Beamish, and did some outdoors cooking.

If you'd like to join the walking group or the men's group then drop us a message for more details.
