  • Hadrian's Wall Backpacking Trip | Coast to Coast | Day 1

Hadrian's Wall Backpacking Trip | Coast to Coast | Day 1

Description

The latest challenge I planned was the Hadrians wall path running from Carlisle to Newcastle, we added a few extra miles to make it a coast to coast hike. Camping along the way, hiking 90 miles in 5 days was not easy, from what I gather not many do it that fast with full camping packs on so it was a great challenge. An emotional roller coaster as we loose members of the team as we go and make friends as well, check it out!

it's basically walks you through all the historical points and stuff that we're gonna see along the way and it also comes with an OS math booklet it was a little bit pricey but it was definitely worth the money it's gonna it's gonna give the trip a little bit more meaning as we go and then kind of read about history as we go so we've got the stumps we're gonna collect I think there's 13 stumps if we make it to the end kumarkan you we're gonna make it to the end they repealed opium or not just a package bag my stop packing in five days like so it begins

we've left well two of us out Charlie's taking point

five days a four miles okay chums let's do this boys feel pretty good the packs of broken in quite nicely Pete doesn't know yeah just got a brand-new pack what Paki got it's a Montaigne five really impressed with it see Sherlock and Bryan watch this space Charlie's Charlie's they're doing some stuff we all go in that way let's go boys Royce we've just been reading the guide and this castle house here is made out of the stone from the wall obviously Cameron we're not gonna see the wall until tomorrow because it's over the easiest lock this month and taken apart and at the time of taking it apart if the stone was used to build housing the low walls communities in the area so this this is a pretty cool house this book is proving really good everyone's quite pleased it good I'll purchase so I'll run you through the library Camden show you properly folks are we doing something wrong so we've having a quick sit stop I'll see if her in a little bit because we've been air pounding the pavement for several kilometers now we are cracking on for about half why we're actually making really good time it's calmly there at half past 12 nearly and then like I said we're getting up our white-eyed schedule about 12 hours for today because everyone I've spoke to said it's a really long haul then we're walking a bit quicker than we thought we were so you're making good time we're gonna try and keep keep pace we just stopped off in there where are we sounds no stop village it's pronounced brough that's what the book says Jordan don't doubt the birth man takes water that's awkward do you mind try again whatever the one here it's two more over there anything you're just looking for the sky what just happened my Haven you forget the aqua clips so we have just had a nice little lunch stop pull the points at a point each raps dinner well I'll never let off it go on schedule if you got carried away so we're gonna hit hit trail hit real hard now hey hard we're gonna hit trial we're gonna hit it hard man hard if these two pull themselves together

pijo yeah pink socks doing quality hiking socks can't believe it only the best so Pete's having some more technical issues as per usual every single trip phone's broke I'm rebooting it basically really good phone the buttons have stopped working so I can't unlock it unless somebody rings me and I hang the phone sorry Charlie have you shown everyone your hay fever right now everyone go yeah refunded by my enterprise I'm fallin asleep so let's just keep moving man look four hours sleep and boy home asleep the last night I'm used to I eat oh is every night there's the river rivers any left boys thank say

that right there is the river of Eden this is the first time we've seen it and we're now following that for the next several kilometers or so probably bit three kilometers I'm guessing and going around the north side of Carlisle and then go to the fair a bit to go as we get to the camp it's a long day today and we are starting to feel it Jordan's face says it all something again right look come on in someone there asked the King on your window Mary Queen of Scots diary documents the first game of football played at this castle I also they go it's over the dog welcome back times are pretty hard right now it's a game like it's the evening roughly about or PASOK's I know I'm feeling pretty rough I'm feeling pretty mentally tired physically I feel luckier Pete's feeling mentally battered he's just keeping up slowly and then the teachers head there all right put him go ahead of schedule not sure what that's about we're ahead of schedule because I'd need estimators to get to come from nine o'clock like I said at the beginning it's gonna be a long day and eta is currently about in seven o'clock and in ten eleven then seven o'clock way Jordan nearly died for them yeah three tough conversations have gone quiet and everyone spend they're booked at least the rain estate away where there were four cuts pretty heavy rain all day and we haven't had any so we've been pretty lucky no complaints looking forward to getting the company eating Ethan dinner now we finally arrived a camp which feels like forever bless those 12 the past like two kilometers have just took those three years but well cause it wasn't it was that was way more than two kilometers ridiculous and what we've been doing by rich hey rich Richard brought Richard brought cake so Richard happen to get some food down first of all it's goddamn cake everyone's expecting their feet three
