“As an historian, what I love about the Hadrian's Wall Challenge is that it combines history, nature and excercise, and the added bonus is that we can do something that is so rewarding and fantastic and put the funds towards such a great cause! ”
- Peter Thomas
“I loved this challenge! It meant that I got to see some amazing scenery, experienced one of the most spectacular historical sights and raised money for the charity - all in all a great experience!”
- Sophie Fuller
“We had a great day - it was lovely to all be together and working towards the same aim. I loved the countryside, and the walk was tough but enjoyable.”
