hadrian's wall, days 5-7
wednesday we walked 10.4 miles, from chollerford to matfen. it was supposed to be 9.9 to wallhouses, but (to cut a long story short) our b&b hostess turned out to be very unwelcoming so we buggered off somewhere else. the pub was superb however :-P
thursday felt like we were nearly home for the first time, covering just 8.9 miles to newburn via heddon on the wall. we stayed at the keelman which of course is the big lamp brewery tap, though unfortunately we were all too tired to sample the full range of ales :-/
the final leg was 11.6 miles along the tyne to wallsend. the extra 5 miles to tynemouth was a step too far so we got the metro to the pub, where beers were enjoyed. everyone hurt. the end.
