Pennine Way Day 16 Greenhead - Hadrian's Wall - The Sill 07/09/2024

 I didn't know until I got back home but I had Covid. We think it was from the country fair at Chatsworth where Anne was working on the beekeeping stall. I had a high temperature which was keeping me awake until I took some paracetamol and manged a few hours sleep. Fortunately, only 7 miles today and easy navigation.

I set off just after 7.00 from the bunkhouse (perfect as I stepped oiut of the back garden gate straight onto the trail) My legs felt like jelly for the first few hundred yards, but soon warmed up. Unfortunately , it was misty so not much in the way of views. Luckily this is the third time I have walked this section of the wall , so I have seen the fabulous views before. The whole of this walk is shared by the PW and the Hadrian's wall trail.

Lots of up and down today as the trail follows the crest of the wall ridge.

I managed to get to the Sill just before 11 which gave me time for a cuppa before catching the bus back to Greenhead( Via Vindolanda and Haltwhistle).
