A big THANK YOU! to those who came along last week to walk this classic central section of the famous trail. Sycamore Gap, with its famous, sad stump is still a very special place as a reminder of how much we care about the environment and this iconic tree.
We walked along this best-preserved central section of the wall for 3 consecutive days, with regular forts, milecastles and turrets, always admiring the Roman skill and knowledge that was so far ahead of its time.
It was easy to imagine what life must have been like almost 2000 years ago for soldiers stationed in this wild and dramatic place at the farthest reaches of the Roman Empire.
Our other walks were along the South Tyne Trail, a little-known but superb route through the Tyne valley, where the leggy Lambley Viaduct provides a fitting climax.
Despite the odd shower, this was a brilliant week of memorable walking, lovely company, and cosy hotel comforts. With special thanks to David, Grethe and their team who hosted us once more at this superb hotel.
Join us next time?? We still have a few places on the July and August trips to walk Hadrian’s Wall. For a full itinerary and details of how to book please visit our webpage here.
