We found it! Heddon on the Wall to East Wallhouses
Today started off wet and grey and with a Very Good PDA Compromise, that allowed Roo and I to start, and keep, walking happily. Instead of insisting that we walk every single step, we agreed that the slightly dull miles between Newcastle and Heddon (where the Wall re-appears) could be taxi miles.
[Incidentally, without the good advice given by the PDA Society, I would have mistaken Roo’s insistence on autonomy for bad or spoilt behaviour and forced the walk. Which would have resulted in us just not finishing. Your sponsorship will help them help other families too…]
So we set off from Heddon, with wet weather and only one accidental detour. This part of the path is rolling hills, beautiful Northumberland views and farmland.
There are a lot of Roman remains, but they tend to be the “green bump on a hill with a sign telling you what was here” kind, rather than actual stone piles. Not entirely impressive for Roo… [“But I loved the views and the yellow fields, and not all of the walking was hard..”]
Yellow fields:
Chips and burgers before bed. We have a long day tomorrow.
