My wife and I are in the early stages of planning a walking trip. Its 88 miles from Wallsend on the east side of England (North Sea side) to the west end of Hadrian's Wall at an inlet to the Irish Sea. We are thinking a target date of sometime in late May or early June 2014.
Roughly 8 days of walking. But nights are spent at upscale B&B's, Castles, Manor homes, nicer hotels, etc. A car will transport luggage from each night's stop to the next, so walkers will take a moderate size day-pack with water, snacks, rain gear, etc, but your real luggage will be carried by vehicle. Breakfast is provided at each stop. Lunch and dinner is not provided as part of the trip, so that would be an added cost. As is transportation to and from the UK, and to/from the starting point/destination point.
I say roughly 8 days because there may be a 1 day side trip to another Roman area ruin that is off the actual wall route.
Cost of this trip is 575 British Pounds for the hotels, breakfasts, and luggage transport. The tour company also provides guide books, works out the itinerary, logistics, etc.
Anyone want to go? Seriously. Tour companies say they can accomodate groups. Kids are NOT welcome, this is an adults only trip.
A couple of the Tour Companies we are considering => http://www.hadrianswall.ltd.uk/walks.html and http://www.macsadventure.com/us/tour-113/hadrians-wall-walk
