Got the metro to Tynemouth What a beautiful place that is ! like an old fashioned coastal town.
I have to say the people of north east are absolutely brilliant. So friendly.
I decided weeks ago to do water to water so I can say it was a full walk across the UK. My mum was worth a walk to the moon and back so an extra few miles was no problem. But the extra was a bit more than I thought. It was about 7 miles !! Yikes !! So I did not even get to the start of the official wall called Segedunum until about 11:00 am.
Got a bit lost following a Hadrians cycle route sign into the centre so had to walk through a really dodgy area to get back to the trail !
Newcastle is a fantastic city. But I have to say as a walk this was always going to be the tedious city trek and I passed the time counting Starbucks and Greggs ;o)))
The total today was nearly 23 miles. The last 2 was a steep climb up to Heddon On The Wall. Home of the Houghton North Farm run by the best landlady I have ever met. We hit it off straight away and she is hilarious. Picture the Geordie buxom farmers wife with a big smile and matching personality and you got it !!
I am so lucky to be in a room with 2 beds and I have it to myself !! Woohoo. Result. There is a couple from London next door going mad about having to sleep in bunk beds. Should I swap........ Nah !!! ;o)))
As you can tell I am on my own and cannot stop writing stuff whilst in the local having a meal with Paula the landlady. (only joking).
It is now 7:45 and my fish finger butty and chips are half demolished but I am not hungry. I only had the breakfast and a bag of Haribo's all day !! No to drink. Good boy with a pint of black current !!
Check out the picture of the field below. Can you see a face in the cloud looking down.
Thoughts of my mum and my deb Jessie and cal are so in my mind and I reckon this week will either be very sad or very happy.
4 days to go and I will be with them again. I love and miss you so much. And mum words cannot express how I miss you every single minute of every day. Thank god I have my 3. Great timing hun. Deb just texted for a chat.

I will post some more pictures and a video to this blog when I get home
