Friday 21st July, Hadrian's wall

Today was a rest day, decided on being aware of my hands and legs complaining!! I have met Els, a lovely GP from Holland who has been living in Scotland for the past 6 months wanting to make it her permanent home, but Brexit has counted that out for her. She and I have a lot in common and shared stories of our travels, originally supposed to leave yesterday she has decided to stay here but commute up to Scotland today (back tonight) to begin clearing out her house up there. Who am I to judge but I think she is asking a lot of herself at 72! hehe I said who am I to judge eh!??

So I have come in to Haltwhistle to do some admin on a computer as the hostel has no computers (unusual) and again to make sure I move at least a little today. Just as we were starting out the rain just peltered doon!! Glad I had my trusty poncho!! When I get back to the hostel and have fed myself, I may just go on a small walk to the start of Hadrian's wall today. I'm excited to do it.Read more
