Hadrian's Wall Path
2010
The inaugural Bucket List Hiking Club adventure started with a hike along the Hadrian's Wall path on October 21, 2010 from Whitley Bay on England's east coast on the North Sea. We finished at Bowness-on-Solway on the Irish Sea 6 days and 100 miles later. The wall is named after Roman Emperor Hadrian who ordered it built to keep out the barbarians from the north (now Scotland) in 122 A.D.
