Hadrian's Wall and Housesteads

Ready on a rainy day to conquer Hadrian's Wall with a walk to Housesteads.


Rain. Rain. Driving rain. Misting rain. Wet rain. But amazing to be here doing this thing.

The highest point on the wall.

Only 4 more miles!

The famous Sycamore Gap,  just before my famous fall off the stone path. Mud everywhere!

Some arches remain at this Milecastle.

You can walk on the wall here. 

A Winged Victory statue unearthed at Housesteads Roman Fort. Seemed a propos after our 6 hours in the Wall.
