Thank you for your kind words. I hope you get the opportunity to walk some of the Hadrian Trail. The best preserved sections of the wall are between Walltown Park to Vindolanda Roman Fort (near Twice Brewed Pub & Inn) on motorway B6318. Enjoy!

Di you make all the arrangements on your own? Did you carry everything with you or did you use some sort of service to transport your bags? Thinking of doing this next year. Also what time of year do you recommend? Thanks!

Hi Leslie. Yes. We arranged the overnight stays based on an average daily walking distance of 15-25 km (about 10 to 15 miles) a day. You can actually complete this hike in 4 days, but we wanted to stop frequently - especially along some of the archeological sites found on days 3, 4, and 5. We had our bags transported to the next inn on the trail and took day packs with us. We walked from the west coast (Bolness-on-Solway) eastward as then you have the wind at your back the entire trail. Aside from Carlisle, Once Brewed, and Newcastle, we took our meals at the place we stayed. Florries Guest House in Walton was a nice stop and, if you want to splurge a little, the Dacre House in Gilsland is highly recommended. Gilsland is a good launching point for the next day's walk with some of the best preserved sections of the wall. We walked in early August and had great luck with clearer weather (this is rare I think) and temperatures being fine.

What company did you use to transport bags? Is that something easy to find on the internet? Thanks for your response!

[@rockhopperx2]

We used this company: hadriansbags.co.uk/ - But there are others...
