Leaving the Greenhead Hotel. Good digs.

Day 13. Sunday, 24th June 2012. Greenhead to Housesteads.6.00 miles. Weather. On the walk, a little sun but mostly cloudy with the occasional light shower. After the walk, a series of very severe downpours. The schedule dictated a very short day today so Richard had a lay in till 9.00 and we got going at 10.30. The walk was almost entirely over some of the course of Hadrian's Wall with quite severe undulations over the natural Whin Sill. Underfoot was a delight, compared with yesterday, walking over closely mown grass courtesy of the local Northumberland sheep. We were all done by 2.00 when we arrived at the Twice Brewed Inn in plenty of time to prepare for tonight's big match. There's five hand pumps in the bar so it's gonna be tough.
