Become a volunteerThis is an 8-day supported walking adventure for Girlguiding members aged 16+, along the historic Hadrian’s Wall National Trail, stretching 92 miles (148km) from coast to coast across northern England. We’ll start from Bowness-on-Sea in Cumbria and walk to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, visiting the coast at both ends. Explore spectacular countryside to famous shipyards and industrial heritage. Traverse the UNESCO world heritage site and unlock pieces of Roman history. Along the route you’ll collect stamps on your Hadrian’s Wall Passport, and complete challenges for a limited-edition Girlguiding Midlands Hadrian’s Wall badge.
The trip involves seven days of walking along Hadrian’s Wall. Expect spectacular views and varying undulating terrain. We’ll be walking 12-16 miles (19-26 km) per day in small groups, supported by a team of walk leaders. We’ll stay at a range of accommodation, using our minibus or public transport to access start/finish points for each day. The minibus will transport equipment along the route, and you’ll only need to carry your own day pack each day. Relaxed evening activities will give us the opportunity to get to know each other and explore what the local area has to offer.
