The Challenge

On May 4th 2024, an intrepid and slightly naive team of travellers, will undertake a tough test of mental and physical endurance, a 3-day Hadrian’s Wall Walk.

The 84-mile west coast to (almost) east coast walk, will breakdown as follows:

• Day 1 – 25.75 miles Bowness-on-Solway to Walton (Brampton)

• Day 2 – 28.25 miles, Walton to Chollerford

• Day 3 – 30 miles Chollerford to Wallsend, Newcastle

Why?

The walk is in memory of a lost friend and old University fellow, the walk pays tribute to him and that of close friendships.
