Another glorious day for walking, although the last part was a bit too hot.
The path was near the Military Road till we got to Heddon-on-the-Wall, but this didn't disturb us (apart from the first short section near Robin Hood Inn that was very close to the road).
We were pleasantly surprised by the stretch

Glorious day for walking!
The route was easy, and we had magnificent views of the beautiful English countryside. However, the paths were parallel to the Milatory Road. On the whole, it was OK, but there are some sections where the path is narrow and close to the road with fast cars and lorries.

Misty, magical, walk that was mainly flat after the first hilly section. Walked parallel to the road quite a long way. The road is fairly quiet, but cars go fast, and their noise is a bit annoying.
Got wet feet due to the damp, misty conditions, and longish grass.

Shortest walk of the tour, but steep inclines up and down at the beginning. Good walking weather.
Went past the 'Sycamore Gap' location. Unfortunately, this famous tree was felled last year by idiots 😕. But the good news is that new shoots are popping up, so there will be limited recovery.

A strenuous walk that was rewarded by lovely views and interesting Hadrian's Wall remains on a perfect day for walking.
Coffee breaks at Walltown Visitor Centre (coffee, books, and t-shirt) and Cawfield Quarry.
Finished at Twice Brewed pub with food and drinks. Perfect day.

Stayed at The Fleece, a lovely hotel at Ruleholm, and took a bridleway to Hadrian's Wall Walk, getting muddy and wet feet.
Nice teabreak at Walton Village. Bought a t-shirt and jumper at The Haytongate Hut.
The walk was longer than expected, so we got to our destination, The Hollies on The Wall in Gilsland

Nice easy walk, but mainly on quiet roads. The non-road tracks were very muddy in places. We had a break at the Eden golf course.
To avoid possibility muddy tracks close to the river, we stayed on the road near the end, but it led to a busy road. We only had to walk a few hundred metres next to it, but

A long flat walk with nice views. Only one chance of getting refreshments on the way, which we gladly took at the Greyhound in Burgh by Sands and avoided a heavy shower.
The route was quite muddy towards the end, near the river. No evidence of the Hadrian's Wall on this section.

Walking in Berlin towards the river and the main station area on a very hot day. Decided not to go into a museum, but to relax in the shade sitting on a deck chair listening to music, drinking beer, and watching boats go by instead.

Starting with a detailed tour of Visby and many stops to take in it's wonderful sights and, in the botanical gardens, smells from the roses, the bike ride went parallel to the coast towards the cliff tops and spectacular views.
On the way back to the harbour, we called in at 'Fridhems Kaffestuga' for refreshments.

Tracks are varied. Great to start with, but mud tracks and then narrow tracks next to busy roads near to Osnabrück. Also, a decent climb on the approach to Osnabrück. Generally, a nice route parallel to rivers or canals for much of the tour. Welcome break in Ibbenbüren.
Osnabrück is a large city with a nice old town.

The cycle tracks after the border from the Netherlands to Germany were disappointing, but from Ochtrup, we had an excellent "Fahrradstrasse" all the way to Rheine, where we stayed. Rheine is a nice town on the Ems river.

After just 16km, we visited the beautiful town Deventer. Another highlight is the "F35 Fietssnelweg" from Hengelo to Enschede. The best cycle track I've ridden on.
The destination Enschede is a lively town, picturesque, and has interesting artwork on buildings.

Nice, sunny, and not too hot - perfect for walking. Long but easy walk. As always, it seemed like the end would never come. Couldn't see the tower of Segedunum until we were very close.
We were pleasantly surprised by the beginning of the walk which we thought would be next to roads and industry, but
