Hadrians Wall: 1 of 342
Posted by Rowan on September 19, 2010

Hello everyone I am incredibly sorry about my bad blogging and I cant believe how long it has been since I last blogged! I have not had very good internet and every time I try to upload pics I end up crashing my browser! I also need to check what I have put up because I have lots of pics now and I am not even sure if I blogged about the places! So I am very sorry. I am now in England on my way to Hadrian’s wall! It is quite hard to type when the keyboard is bouncing around in frond of me! Yesterday I went to Lindersfarn/Holy Island. I was a great and we went at the time when everyone else left, you see for those who don’t know were or what Lindersfarn is Lindersfarn is an island and at certain times of day or night eg. Four in the afternoon and so on you can cross to the island on a causeway/road that is otherwise covered with water. So we arrived at our strange camp-site (Bluebell Farm, Belford) were white rabbits run free along with Chinese duck and baby swans! It was almost exactly one of the afternoon low tide times (around 4 ish) so we immediately hoped back in the car and drove of to the causeway. We arrived and managed to cram Huwie (our little car) in to the car park. The place looked nice. We walked through the small village with Rhys telling us about how when the island originally was home to a few monastery’s it had been the first place that the Vikings had invaded! He then went on to pretend to be a Viking waving his fists and storming through the ‘very busy’ streets and scaring one woman on her peaceful walk on the castle hills shouting and brandishing his pick axes’. We then walked around the small island and down the bit of the cause way we could before getting tea and waiting until 10 when we could go back to the mainland. I realised when we were on the island that we always seem to arrive places when they are covered in scaffolding! For instance
The Forbidden City
Roslin Chapel
The Pathanon
Lindersfarn Priory
The abbey in Ireland
and probably a few more.
