The lovely lady washed and dried my jacket, fleece and hat for me. I only asked her to dry them. They were a bit 'ahem' sweaty. Sorry, disgusting I know. What a nice thing to do. I may end up partly respectable on Friday. Mind you I still aim to clearout the train carriage for the trip home !!
Went down for a full cooked English brekkie and it was fantastic. Met 3 old ladies on the next table and we had a right laugh. I honestly have no idea why but I love the company of older people, especially old ladies. They seemed to like me too. They were quite well to do and were hilarious. They came to this B&B for a walking holiday but have yet to do any walking ! The older they get the worse they get. I offered to race them to the first milestone. Just in case they took me up on it I dashed out to get a headstart. Hehe !! Only joking.
I insist every single person adds this days walk to their bucket list. From around Sewingshields Crags to Walltown !!!! Check it out please !! What I witnessed today was simply stunning. It has got to be one of the most amazing historical sites in the world and why it isn't recognised more is unbelievable. The wall is virtually complete, restored and climbs up & down following the highest peaks of crags and hills for mile after mile. Take a look at the pictures below.
The ditch is completely redundant now as the natural drop to the north Scottish side does the job perfectly.
Once again however the people you meet are the best part by far. Met a brilliant couple from Melbourne, Aus. Another pair from Gent, Belguim and a couple from Canada. There were some Americans & Brits too ofcourse. Also some saddos like me on their own. I am not alone in being alone !! Haha !
I also found the exact spot on the wall where a picture I downloaded off tinternet was. I have been looking at this picture for months as my desktop wallpaper. It is also the one on this blog and the justgiving site too.
Also a bit wierd that I spotted another national trail "The Pennine Way" crossing over Hadrians Wall Trail. Strange to think I could have turned left (south) and gone on a 290 mile trail to near Derby. Maybe another time !!
