Well, it's definitely a slow news day and I've been saving this one for such an occasion ... back in 1801, a certain William Hutton (related to a former denizen of the Classics list?) decided he was going to walk (and write about) the entire length of Hadrian's Wall. Alun has been excerpting the work, illustrating it with some modern photos and adding appropriate links. Now it is one of the features of blogging that things end up being archived 'backwards', so if that's not a problem, you can begin with the intro on the bottom of this page, work your way up, then proceed to the bottom of this one and work your way up. If that sort of thing bothers you, ecce:
