Hello everyone.
It is a shock to return home freezing England with snow, after only last week being in NZ where it was in the mid 20s!
I've been looking at accommodation for Hadrian's Wall in May and alot is already booked. How do does everyone feel about going for a long weekend in September? The idea would be to walk about half the wall, between 40-50 miles. One day could be as far as 15 miles, with the remaining days between 10 and 12 miles, although one day might be less than 10 miles. The plan would be to drive up on a Thursday/Friday returning on a Tuesday/Wednesday.
As much feedback as possible would be appreciated, alternatively let me know on my walk on February 22nd.
Thanks
Andrew |

I'd be happy with this!
I was planning to do a repeat of the Sussex weekend in September, but I could change this to the May weekend in place of this one if people wanted it.

Sounds a good plan on both fronts, both Sussex and Hadrian's Wall :)

Hi Andrew,
Hope you had a great time in OZ...looking forward to the stories
... I've always wanted to go and see Hadrians Wall...so to do walks round there even better.... if the trip is changing to September when I'm not sitting exams then fantastic. Its not going to be too expensive I hope as I'm a non earner for a while yet!!
..count me in...be great.
Thanks for organising it...

Hi Andrew
I would be interested in this, though not sure if I could persuade Matt to do it, will have to get him out for some training.

Welcome back Andrew,
September would suit me, as would the length of the walks.
Looking forward to this, should be a hoot.
Thanks for arranging this one.

Hello everyone,
Dates in September for this event will be:-
Depart on Friday 11th, expecting to stay 2 nights in Carlisle in B&B or similar, ditto the 3rd night and probably a Youth Hostel on the 4th and 5th nights. Return home on Wednesday 16th.
If you'd like to come for sure, please let me know. More details to follow shortly.

Liam, is there a list then of the number of posts everyone has made?
That's not good, because some members could abuse that to get up the lists?

I thought you might get angry if you saw that your Hadrian's Wall thread had been side-lined :)
I have a couple of friends who I might be able to get to come along as well, I'll see what I can do :)

Hopefully Andrea, Matt and Mr Tate will come along too :)

Andrew, just to check, I think I can guess but there are four Premierinns in Carlisle, which one are you staying at? Carlisle Central?
