That looks like a great walking day! Cool from the way you’re dressed with the expectation of rain, but it looks like you managed to stay dry. Even some blue sky! After yesterday’s post I was going to comment that you aren’t showing up in any photos, but at the very end hou managed to get into one with Christine. I think you will want a few photos of yourself walking. Take it from someone who mostly walks solo.😉 Pretty country. When I travelled across that area I remember more of the wall showing up, particularly along the tops of cliffs. Perhaps that’s ahead of you. Have fun! It’s the best gig on the planet!
It was more than strenuous! So much climbing, which walking in Saskatchewan prepares you for, and quite long. Lawrence, who was having tea at the trig point marking the highest elevation on the Wall, took the photo of us together. Thanks, Lawrence!
Yes I remember just how ready you were on the Camino after all that vertical training in Saskatchewan!😂
I’ve a feeling you’re not in Saskatchewan any more.
How wonderful! Beautiful personal and landscape photos of walking the wall, Ken! We have walked it several times—and before the vicious vandals chopped down the iconic tree. One of our favourite places to visit between Hexham and the wall is the Corbridge archaeological site and museum full of artifacts such as stone remnants of the Brigante (Celtic) god of the river Tyne, and many Roman gods.
We missed Corbridge, so maybe we’ll have to walk it again!
