Walking Hadrian's Wall: Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979217050)

Walking Hadrian's Wall, Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway takes you on my walking trek along Hadrian's Wall and across England in the late summer of 2022. I walked along the famous Hadrian's Wall built in AD 122 by Emperor Hadrian. Over a period of 10 days, I crossed the country. Starting on the east coast at Wallsend I walked to Bowness-on-Solway on the west coast. The journey has been recreated with watercolor illustrations and daily descriptions of the adventure. Over the 84-mile journey, I met many wonderful people and experienced Roman and English history.

Follow along with me as I "hike my own hike" and visit Heddon-on-the-Hill, Chollerford, the Twice Brewed Inn, and many more places. Including visiting the Roman Fort at Vindolanda.

The book is filled with original watercolor illustrations by J. Bruce Jones. Also included in the book is a Frequently Asked Questions section on the trip, the kind of pack I used, lessons I learned, and much more.
