I lived in boldon for some time and i wouldnt recommend the burn, especially for females. I know quite a few people have been attacked in the boldon area and know some one who was raped near the brokley whins station so unless your in a group stay away. The police attitude towards attacks in the area tends to revolve around , why were you there in the first place. If you know the area , you will understand.

I find that everytime I go on the burn theres a group of charvers hanging about. I don't think it's a very safe place to be around.

It all depends on timing... Plus, safety by numbers and all that jazz...
