Hadrian's Wall: Day 1, Bowness to Carlisle

Well that's the first day done! It's been a pretty good day - the weather was fab and we walked through some very beautiful places. We enjoyed a St. Clement's (Orange juice and bitter lemon) at the Greyhound Inn in Burgh-by-Sands just before our lunch stop and met another walker doing the route in the opposite direction, and got some advice for further sections. One section of the trail was closed due to a landslip which meant a slightly longer route, but it was still pleasant. The harder parts of the day were the long tarmac section this morning between Drumburgh and Burgh and a field with cows, bullocks and a rather large bull. The travelodge where we are staying was a lot further off the trail than we had thought, but I've never been so happy to see one in my life! My feet are very achey but no blisters yet. Looking forwards to a (cheap!) pub dinner and then a comfy bed.

Prayer requests:
Good weather again tomorrow
A good night's sleep tonight
Safety as we walk
