Challenge Itinerary
Brocolitia Roman Fort to Wall Town National Park Centre
You’ll meet the Global Adventure Challenge crew, and your fellow hikers, for event registration at Wall Town Car Park and will be transferred to the start point at Brocolitia Roman Fort.
The start of your walk along Hadrian’s Wall will offer you breathtaking views across Northumberland National Park at Peel crags, and you’ll continue trekking along some of the most beautiful and visible sections of the wall, passing many roman forts or ‘Milecastles’ as they were once called.
As your legs begin to tire, you’ll reach your finish point at Wall Town National Park Centre for a well-deserved glass of fizz. Once you’ve rested your legs and catch your breath, you are free to make your onward journeys home.
Please note, this is a complex itinerary – times, distances and logistics are subject to change.
