Hadrian's Wall: Day 5, Grindon to Corbridge

This morning started with a large bowl of cereal, full English and a slice of toast. Consequently we didn't eat much for the rest of the day!

This morning we walked from Grindon to Chesters Roman Fort where we sat on the pavement playing cards for 45 minutes whilst waiting for the Hadrians Wall Bus which took us to Hexham ( as Hexham was almost exactly due south of Chesters and so the bus didn't cover any of the distance along the wall, we didn't feel this was cheating!). In Hexham we stocked up on food in Tesco, had a cuppa and a brownie in a little cafe then walked out to Corbridge where our b&b tonight is. The lovely owner has washed and dried all out walking clothes and underwear for us! She also booked us a table at the black bull. The tiredness hit a new level today at dinner, and my biggest challenge so far was finishing my meal, despite it being delicious!

I won't write a description of my blisters as you really don't want to read one! Miraculously they are not particularly painful whilst walking but they are so sore when I am in bed.

Prayer requests:
More energy tomorrow
Pain free feet whilst walking for the rest of the wall
