Thursday : Rain Getting a good run of sleep ins. 3:30am I got woken up by a bloke scrummaging around the room for an hour with a torch getting ready to go for a hike. He totally Should of been packed the night before and why have a shower a 4am? Extraordinary lack of efficiency from a German. It took me ages to get back to sleep after that. He would of had a shocking walk too, the rain and wind started shortly after he left. It was nice to listen to the wind and...

Once through the gates which no one has ever been able to get through by force, you have some medieval st...

After a nice sleep listening to the heavy rain, we got packed, had a standing up breakfast (because there were too many people to sit down) and hit the road. Our first stop was in a village called Brampton, well we thought we had the right Brampton. We were looking for parts of Hadrian's wall (the northernmost point of the Roman empire) and we were in the wrong town. Our book said that one of the best parts to s...
