Illuminating Hadrian's Wall : Cell 29

Cell 29, originally uploaded by rantoutloud.

Posted to the distant outskirts of Walltown in deepest Northumberland. This may not have been the most spectacular of positions but we did our bit for the good of all. It was fantastic just from the feeling to have taken part and be one of the few, the cameradere, the craic, the cold... bloody hell it was cold when the lights went out and the sky cleared. Thanks to our leader 'JJ' who appeared first to be so laid back I thought he'd be asleep soon but in the end helped make it an enjoyable fun event for all of us.

Running out after all that rain, I didn't think it'd be possible yesterday but the weather turned warm and sunny. Another new route variation, north from the flat up towards Hadrians Wall and around the reservoirs at the top of Whittle Dean. Many of the tracks were both overgrown from lack of traffic, obviously hardly anyone runs or walks these very often and very very wet. Indeed several times I was up past my ankles in water and mud. Then back down the hill to Horsley, 7 miles or thereabouts quite a slow time, route finding in the long grass and wading through ankle deep mud doesn't make for a fast pace.
