“I have dreamed of walking Hadrian's wall for 45 years. Doing so was a dream come true. The walk from Chollerford to Steel Rigg was a real physical and mental challenge compounded by the fact that it was very windy and there was horizontal rain. At the end of that day I felt fortunate to have done it. I highly recommend the walk plus I recommend booking with Contours.”Mrs Wright, UK
“The walking was great, the accommodation generally very nice and the logistics generally smooth - which we appreciate was no mean feat in some areas.”Ms Logan, UK
“Walked the full 84 miles west to east under clear blue skies and high temperatures from 3rd -8th September. Accommodation was excellent as usual, clean and B& B owners friendly and open to discuss the time of breakfast so we could have an early start. The middle three days offered the famous views around The Sill, Sycamore Gap and Twice Brewed. Looking forward to next years trail -yet to be decided but if goes ahead will book through yourselves again.”Mr Rawdin, UK
