The Diabetes UK Great North Walk 2009 will feature a truly lovely 10-mile route in and around Sunderland.

The event will begin and end in the former colliery site of Herrington Country Park and take in some of the adjoining area’s finest countryside.

Walkers will be able to get up close and personal with the iconic Penshaw Monument and wander the banks of the River Wear.

It all adds up to a totally unique event that is ideal for all the family.

In fact, the Great North Walk is a great social occasion for the serious and not so serious walker and will encourage many hundreds to get their walking shoes on as part of a fitness drive.

What’s more, the event is also a great opportunity to raise money for a worthy cause such as Diabetes UK.
