It is with tired legs and heavy eyes that I write this evening. Today we marched along from wallsend to wylam, a 15 mile journey, that passed through Newcastle before entering the country side.
Although we walked along "the wall", we have yet to see any ruins from it. We should begin to see remnants tomorrow.
Hadrians wall is one of the oldest pieces of history in England built by the Romans to protect against varies tribes but the Picts in particular. Today our guide book says we should be able to walk safely along the wall as the picts are no longer a threat however it did warn us that sometimes the youth of Newcastle are known to tease the walkers. Sadly/ fortunately we made it through without any teasing.
Of note, I have discovered a new medical diagnosis. The "anticipatory blister". Somehow my dad had a blister before we even started. We wrapped it up for our journey and it didn't prove a problem. However he has managed to start a large one on the base of his foot. This could be a long journey for the both of us.
Tomorrow we walk 18 miles! Let's hope we don't sprout any more blisters.
I'm right tally:
