My story

 

Hi My name is Michael Drax and for my DofE expedition I plan to walk part of Hadrians wall, I will be grateful for any donations no matter what form!

We are going to walk the wall from Gilsland to Newburn, unfortunately we are not going to walk the whole wall as the timings are wrong for all of us. We are heading out on the 3rd of april!

We have done it! After dreadful conditions during the first day, where we covered a measly 9 miles. In fact the weather was so bad we were forced to don skiing goggles and balaclavas! The second day was just as windy but luckily there was no rain or sleet that day, and we finished the second day with 17 miles under our belts. Because we blitzed the second day, the last day was relaxed and comfortable, Cav joined us on the warmest day and we completed the final 13 miles with time to spare.

Thank you all for your donations to a good cause and the photos should be coming on soon.

We have done it! After dreadful conditions on the first day (where we were forced to don balaclavas and skiing goggles) the weather just got better and better, and we arrived at the Keelman Arms at Newburn with time to spare. Thank you all for your donations to a good cause.
