Before leaving Vindolanda, Jamie suggested we buy a picnic lunch there to take with us to Housesteads Roman Fort where we hiked the steep hill to Hadrian's Wall. We encountered sheep in the field-had to watch where you walked, especially since it was raining off and on. We approached the wall, walked along the top of it, passed a gate, then sat down on wet stones to have our lunch. We were there for about 20 minutes. I would have liked to spend more time walking along the wall, but we needed to get to York, so we were off again!
