Pilgrims Hospices Virtual Hike: Hadrian's Wall Path, 1 June 2020
Introducing the first in our brand new Virtual Hike series: Hadrians Wall Path. The challenge to walk the equivalent distance to the length of the ancient Roman fortification (88 miles) from, or near to, your own home throughout June.

Story

The goal was to hike the entire length of Hadrian's Wall from Bowness-on-solway to Wallsend... virtually, between 1st - 30th June. The 88 miles were completed on Friday 12th June - with 18 days to spare, in an overall time of 27 hours and 39 minutes. 

While for many of us doing our part during the current health crisis means staying at home, Pilgrims Hospices nurses and support staff are Still Here; Still Caring and are continuing to provide skilled and compassionate end-of-life care for people living with life-limiting illness across east Kent. By sponsoring my challenge, you'll truly be making a difference to the lives of people living with a life-limiting illness and their families.Thank you.
