| The forecast for today was rain from 1.00pm in the area we were walking near Haltwhistle so we headed off early and had started our walk by 10.00am. |
 |
| The start of our walk from Steel Rigg on The Roman Wall involved a couple of steep climbs |
 |
| The view from the top was spectacular but it was a dark day so the light was very poor for photos. |
 |
| This is the start of the steep cliffs on the eastern side of the wall |
 |
| This is the famous Sycamore Gap |
 |
| Three Merry Men waiting for Robin Hood to appear |
 |
| Two of Robin Hood's gang |
 |
| More cliffs on the eastern side of the wall |
 |
| One of the Loughs next to the Wall |
 |
| A view of The Lough looking from East to West with the Wall at the top of the cliffs |
 |
| Sycamore Gap from the other side |
 |
| Todays route although we reduced the walk by about 3 miles to 5 miles in view of the impending rain. We ended up at The Sill which is a new Visitor Centre and Youth Hostel. We had soup and a sandwhich plus a drink and it came to £36 for the 4 of us which we all thought was a bit expensive as it was nice but not very well presented and had no extras. |
