2015 - Hadrian’s Wall

In 2015, Rosemary, Hazel (Rosemary’s sister) and Sarah (Rosemary’s daughter) took on the first of many long-distance hikes, walking the full length of Hadrian’s wall (all 73 miles!) in one go.

 

They started in Cumbria, on the Solway Firth and walked east:

And continued along the wall, with some stunning views from Cumbria and Northumberland…

Horse-crazy Sarah was very happy when this turned up at one B & B…

And finally, exhausted, they reached their last campsite with sore feet and only enough energy to boil the kettle. Even Flossie, was tired (almost unheard of in Border Collies!) and went straight to bed in Sarah’s tent!

The next day, they reached Newcastle

Below is the newsletter that Rosemary produced to thank everyone who sponsored her:

A wee note:

Rosemary does these hikes to raise money for Restored, a Christian charity working against the scourge of domestic abuse. Please visit their site to find out more: https://www.restored-uk.org/
