Alston to Byrness, taking in a memorable section of Hadrian’s Wall.

This was just a lovely excuse to get out on the trails for a few days, and try out my new sleep system of a tarp & bivvy bag rather than a tent which is slightly heavier to carry. Conclusion, yes tarp & bivvy is lighter, but bleedin’ cold and windy if you camp in the wrong spot (which I did). Still beautiful though.
