It was October last year we did it and it was special for both of us as we have more than a passing interest in Roman and military history to stopped to read all the very useful info boards as well as discussing our own interest in the military and comparing it to the Romans. It's not a hard walk - it's undulating which means the ascent and descent is more than it first seems, but it's lovely rolling countryside, especially at Windshields Crag. Well worth 4-5 days and some nice pubs en route too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023592697740977989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-35626988717848840332010-07-26T00:32:24.818+01:002010-07-26T00:32:24.818+01:00Hi Mike.

They had route with gradings like : 10 % cliffs , 5 % the apple pie etc. Then they had a best buy rucsac weighing 2.5 kg. I seem to think they are jumping on the lightweight band wagon now. Presumably cos main stream manufacturers are making lighter stuff and they wont upset them any more.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603945367689510842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-8824084220086869452010-07-21T19:11:36.750+01:002010-07-21T19:11:36.750+01:00There's a wide choice of public transport on w...There's a wide choice of public transport on which to base walking on the wall - ie the AD122 bus, the 685 Carlisle to Newcastle hourly service and the train - as there's a number of handy stations.<br />I seem to remember using all three last year.<br />You have to walk as well, obviously.....Mike Knipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792636586674245725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-177918675979573010.post-16418383376576277112010-07-21T17:51:34.145+01:002010-07-21T17:51:34.145+01:00If I could remember the Latin for 'hello' ...If I could remember the Latin for 'hello' which is on the tip of my tongue I would use it......however in the meantime it sounded like a good trip. <br />I do remember getting the bus when I did the Wall Walk wayback in 2000and something (2000 AD that is) so I don't think it's that new.....still it's great to be able to get back to the car or even use the bus first and walk back to the car.
