Day 16 - Rest Day Once Brewed

Go figure 4 consecutive days of rain when riding 2 rest days and the sun comes out!

With the weather looking good did a 10 km walk along some spectacular sections if Hadrians wall to the Housesteads fort. At 73 miles an amazingly situated structure that would have provided pretty bleak accommodation for most of the 25000 troops when fully staffed nearly 2000 years ago about the same time the Bulldogs last won the flag!

The Amazing Hadrians Wall

Walked back to the YHA by way of the military road to save Kevs ailing leg even though walking along road with no verge with some traffic doing 150km hr+
put our well being at substantial risk- oh what a speed camera or two would make in revenue here

Back at the YHA kev who never sleeps in the afternoon promptly fell asleep - dinner was again at the only available choice the pub next door at twice brewed where I had rescue Kev from a potential international incident after Kev wanted to insert his soup bowl up the rear end of the head bar tender!
