Abbey Bridge to Carlise

Nothing of the wall to see but walked through some beautiful country side.

 Giant Hogweed!

Twice Brewed to Abbey Bridge

Definitely further than the 14 miles quoted! The lady at abbey bridge said she walked it recently and it was 15.6 miles. Some shots along the way for you. Weather was perfect for walking.

Highest Point on the Wall, Whinshields Crags

Long walk to Wall today. Saw two pieces of the original wall. NO Rain, but humid and looked as if we might get a thunderstorm luckily they missed us.

Leaving Keelmans and the Lamphouse micro brewery

Wonder where it is?

Segedunum roman fort

Got our passports at Wallsend ready for the walk with its first stamp!

view of the fort from the viewing tower. Saw an excellent reconstructed time lapse video showing this how this site changed from roman times to the present day. we would have filmed it if the place hadn't been overrun with school kids😛

Newcastle

From where we are staying. Off to Segedenum in the rain today!

Might be Deja Vu, look at these from Day 1 on our Camino last year!
