Hadrian’s Wall Trail • Steel Rigg • Sycamore Gap • Highshield Crags • Day 6

Steel Rigg and Highshield Crags provide fantastic views of both great sections of the Roman wall but also of the surrounding countryside in Northumberland. Crag Lough and Peel Crags form a majestic duo in the landscape. Sycamore Gap with its iconic tree slap bang in the middle of the gap, guarding the route through like an old Roman soldier is such a well-known photo spot.

A full day of views and enjoyment today, concluded with an overnight stay at the farm bunkhouse at Green Carts just north west of Chollerford.

I hope I have commented accurately about the areas around and points I reference in the video. Please accept my apology if it seems I have not included something important or not got a detail correct in some way. I have done my best – I’m not an expert!

==============================================
Taking care on the hills:
I’m not a pro, expert or any kind of leader on the mountains. I step out for fun and my own personal enjoyment. What I do is at my own risk. I do not suggest anyone does what I do, the way I do it, where I go or anything else in my videos. I’m always mindful of my own safety and doing what is right with respect to the environment and others on the hills. If you watch my videos, please enjoy them as they are and don’t necessarily assume they are examples of excellent practice. I’m learning along the way too.

As always, every fell-walker goes out on their route taking on responsibility for their own safety and wellbeing, accessing areas that are open to the public or asking for permission as necessary. I totally support the #LeaveNoTrace campaign and encourage everyone to follow that too. So, if you venture out, please respect the environment, be considerate to others along the route, stay safe, wear, carry and use the clothes and equipment that you need for your trek, have ample food and drink for the duration of your trek, navigate carefully and keep within the limitations of your fitness and abilities. Let others know where you plan to go and when you will return.
Stay Safe. Enjoy!
