Lanercost to Gilsland

Our first wall sighting, this piece of the wall probably still exits because a house had been built up against it.

Today, we continue to see more wall and climb more hills. We also pass fewer villages which means fewer places to eat and appreciate toilets, as opposed to nettle infested opportunities.

Turret and mile castle foundations are increasingly visible as we walk into rolling hill country. The wall is estimated to have been 12 feet high most places. The construction technique changed. At this end of the wall, the construction was smooth and precise across the width. As we move east, it will become less smooth on the outside and very sloppy inside.

A foundation set on the diagonal, followed by the explanation, and a sketch of a possible likeness.

And miles and miles of wall, and wall building ruins with excellent explanations, and walking up and down and up and down.
