HADRIANS WALL CHALLENGE - 84 MILES

Have you ever dreamed of walking Hadrian's Wall? DATES: 12th-18th September 2020 Includes guide book & Hadrian's Wall passport 84 mile guided long-distance walk from coast to coast. Training and preparation weekend is 1st/2nd August 2020 SUMMARY The full or part of the 84 miles (135km) of Hadrian’s Wall Path is a delightful trip from coast to coast in England, taking in the remains of the Roman wall, built to keep the Scots out of England.  In its day, the wall was a remarkable edifice and well-preserved sections of it still remain today along with several museums dedicated to taking you back to those heady days. It is one of Britain’s most popular long-distance walks and one of the most pleasant to walk of the National Trails in the UK. Hadrian's Wall Path is extremely well waymarked, therefore, you can choose to walk with Julia, or if you prefer to start with the group and then venture off on your own then we will simply communicate via issued radio's or WhatsApp to make sure that everyone is safe. We walk through some of the wildest and most beautiful scenery in England and enjoy regular viewings of forts, castles, turrets, museums and visitor centres all along the wall.  It will be a journey of discovery in more ways than one. BAGGAGE TRANSFER SERVICE For this trail, we will be carrying our rucksacks, however, if this does not sound very appealing then we can arrange luggage transfer for an additional cost of £10 per day if you so wish.  This will need to be booked in advance.
