'Twas interesting - met dozens of people along the path - France, Netherlands, Denmark, Germany & America. Many from England, but only 3 from the north. We talked with lady working at Segedunum, and asked her about people walking the entire path - she told us mainly Americans & Canadians. We asked about locals - no, not many locals. My wife knew why - she grew up in Whitley Bay & they new ALL about the wall & the Romans - school reports, field trips, reports about the field trips, dioramas,
etc - they were saturated by the damn Romans & damn Hadrian & his wall! She was more "excited" about walking across the country than about seeing the tiny bit of wall still extant!?! The cities, villages & wider places in the road we visited & stayed were fun. Beer is always good & the food was food.
