Saturday 5th Mar 2005
   
So, the plan for this morning/afternoon was to head to Hadrian's Wall with me, M**** and my brother. We got to my brother's house at about . . . well, perhaps 11 o'clock. I'm not too sure. We then headed up towards Carlisle, stopping off at the services near Tebay in order to buy some spanners (the nut holding down the driver's side windscreen wiper was loose and kept going off at a funny angle). On the outskirts of Carlisle, we stopped off at the Tesco there,
for victuals, as my brother likes to call them. Our first stop was Birdoswald (sp.?!) where we had a bit of a wander around, but then it started raining, so we ate our lunch in the car. Then on to Walltown Crags, which are where these pictures were taken (15:27 through to 15:30). As you can see, the weather took a turn for the worse, so . . . back to the car. Finally - Housesteads, which we reached at just before 16:00. But, of course, it closed at 16:00, and this we realised AFTER I had paid for the parking ticket. Grrrrrr. I let my brother have a go in the car when we left Housesteads. That's him in the picture to the right there, taken at 16:02.
