Ups and downs.

So…last Friday we got out for a walk by Hadrian’s Wall, from Housesteads Roman Fort to Steel Rigg, via Sycamore Gap and back to Houseteads through the farmland north of the wall. It was a bit breezy but remained dry for us. We had lunch at Twice Brewed Inn before heading back on duty.

The first part of the walk was on the top of the wall.

The wall stretches ahead.

Foxglove.

Hotbank Farm.

Crag Lough.

Sycamore Gap.

Looking back to Sycamore Gap.

Milecastle 39.

The way back...

An old Lime Kiln.

Yikes!

Housesteads ahoy.

The ups and downs of Hadrian's Wall.

The wall stretches along the hilltops.

Gone, but not forgotten.
