Trek in the footsteps of the Romans
Hadrian's Wall originally ran from coast to coast and spanned 72 miles. Today we are left with only sections of this famous landmark, which cuts through the beautiful Northumberland National Park.
Starting at Lanercost Priory, you will trek alongside the only remaining sections of the wall, admiring ancient monuments, beautiful scenery and the skill of the Roman engineers who built this famous landmark, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is a tough, short challenge spanning over a weekend. It is great for those wanting to take on a challenge away from home but don't have time for a longer overseas trek.

Day 1 - arrive at the campsite near Haltwhistle; group meal and briefing

What would you lose from your life if you lost your sight?
When you lose your sight you lose more than your ability to see.
Every day, almost 100 people in the UK will start to lose their sight. RNIB gives people who have lost their sight vital support to help them find their lives again. Right now RNIB can only reach one in three of the people who need our help most. Join Team RNIB and help us reach them all.
