Our walk from Chollerford took us to Housesteads Fort. Just mind boggling. Housesteads is the most complete Roman fort in Britain.http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/launch_vt_housesteads.shtml. 800 soldiers lived there and the technology was fantastic. Central heating in AD122!.

Mmmmm one of the amazing things for us though was the group having lunch next to us were from Vancouver Island. They knew all of the people we knew from when we lived and worked there! Lots of stories to exchange and gossip to catch up on!

We climbed high up to Steel Riggs. One magnificent view was looking down over the craggs to two snowy white swans etched out against the blue water below.
