2024 sees the

11th Annual Haggs Adventure Meet.

An activity weekend with lots of opportunities to get out and explore the North Pennines –
England’s Last Wilderness up on the Roof of England.

As usual Friday night will be time to chill out, share stories around the bonfire and sample a few local beers, ready for an action packed weekend!

On Saturday you will be spoilt for choice with all the adventures you could have!

There are Trail rides, suitable for all abilities and experience levels, to explore the local area and try out your riding skills.

These rides last from 3 to 6 hours, many taking in parts of the TET route along the way!

If you prefer to stay on tarmac, join a guided road tour and enjoy the local scenery with the opportunity to head across to the Lake District or Scottish Borders for the day! The views are just stunning up here on the ‘Roof of England’!

On Saturday night after you’ve got back and grabbed a shower, we have live music, a bonfire and well stocked bar with local beers from the Consett Steel Works brewery as well as BBQ and Donner Kebab cooked on an Wood Fired Spit !

Sunday Morning is the return of a popular event,  with the chance to explore some of the underworld! – We have a qualified mine guide – taking small groups into the Labyrinth of Nenthead Mines. You’ll need some extra clothing for this – and will need to book it in advance, so please let us know!
