First night on HADRIAN'S WALL, weariness and awe at Cumbrian sunset

This was a challenging but unforgettably wonderful evening of hiking this ancient WALL.

Edward I, Hammer of the Scots, died here and was laid out in this 12th century stone church, commemorated in this 17th century statue.
Weary from our first evening of marching, we were awed by the majesty of the sunset.

      Thanks for following, Maggie. We're having a glorious time on this ancient route march (sometimes I feel the part--the ancient part--a bit too much!)

      Thanks for glimpsing in with is! Pray for fruitful conversation with my son as we march. He's been delightful to be with, including lots of 11-year-old jokes and things he finds so hilarious (usually I do to... the first time or two). We've had some good meaty conversations
