So much to pack and do still before I have to catch my bus up to Carlisle. From there me and Quiddity are walking from coast to coast along <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hadrians-wall.org\/template.asp?ID=0&#038;parentID=517\" rel=\"external\"><strong>Hadrian&#8217;s&nbsp;Wall<\/strong><\/a> to Newcastle. It&#8217;ll take us about 5 days of walking and a day either side to get there and back.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be doing something like 20 miles a day. Ive been sort of preparing for this by doing the occasional 7 mile stroll to and from the Brighton Marina during which I eat ice-cream and watch a movie as a reward. I need rewards for everything just like a dog. Yesterday as my reward for working my ass off the last few weeks I bought some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ellis-brigham.com\/cgi-bin\/psProdDet.cgi\/211061||@c@bMeindl|0|user|1,0,0,1|19|\" rel=\"external\">super&nbsp;sexy<\/a> leather mountain boots I can&#8217;t afford and was repremanded by the sales assistant for not having bought them <em>&#8220;at least&#8221;<\/em> 6 months ago to wear them in. What kind of spontaneous adventurer plans 6 months in advance so they can wear their boots in? Phah. I always pack at the very last possible minute and of course I only had today to wear them in while walking around town, so tough. I bought blister plasters. Thats the sort of ahead planning endorsed by the Adventurer On The Go Society and the sort I&#8217;ll stick to. I just need to remember to pack them&#8230; maybe I should make a list.<\/p>\n<p>And yeah, along the way I&#8217;ll be posting photo updates to yummy via my celly, like this one!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pics\/weblog\/hadrians-wall-the-beginning.jpg\" alt=\"It begins!\" class=\"imgborder\"><\/p>\n<p>So all you lazy asses are coming along with me!
