Number 1 - a name...

1. The name

What to call a walk along the Tyne - mouth to source? Problem - 2 sources! Solution walk to both. Ummm.. this is more complicated than I thought.

Then the penny drops - there are actually 3 Tynes - the North Tyne, the South Tyne and the River Tyne so obviously 3 sources. Ummm.. definitely more complicated than I thought!
- the North Tyne rises in Deadwater Fell (possibly)
- the South Tyne rises in the Pennines somewhere around Tyne Head (probably)
- the River Tyne begins at the Meeting of the Waters (definitely)

Tarrahh!

We have the ThreeTynesTrail!
Now for the rest of the stuff. Where's my list?
