A walk in memory of the east Durham tourism officer who lost his life in the Southall train crash is to be held on September 23.
The Ged Traynor Memorial Walk will begin at the warden's lodge, in Peterlee's Oakerside Park, and cover a ten-mile route around the south of the district.
Mr Traynor, who worked for Easington District council, was one of the seven people who died in the accident, in 1998.
The chairman of the council, Councillor Audrey Laing, will pay a tribute to Mr Traynor. Some members of his family will also be present for the walk, which will set off at 9am.
Council workers will be taking part in the walk, with some aiming to raise money for the chairman's charity, Chin Up.
Everyone is invited to take part, and transport will be available to return walkers to the starting point.
