  Friday 30th April over breakfast met the 8 walkers who were staying at the B and B they were all solicitors or police and they were trying to get info from me about the walk,one was blind which I was shocked because some of those crags are really steep and exposed how could they do it,incredible and it humbles you when you think of how hard it is to do it,just imagine how hard doing it blind,or guiding someone that is blind.Gordon turned up and set off before me because he was afraid of slowing me and it took me 2 hours to catch him up,15 miles of hard slog all on Tarmac following the River Tyne,quite good going thru the middle of Newcastle but really slow from there,arrived at 4pm at the end Segedunum Fort another 7 hours walk.Gordon's wife was waiting and took me to my accommodation a pub called Dorset Arms in Wallsend,it was OK but it is a pub and full of Geordies who have a way of looking at you as if you are a Sunderland supporter,first man I chatted to was from Kent,Borstal near Medway and he told me he came up here for a holiday 28 years ago and hasn't gone back.
