Every
afternoon during the week Monday 15 - Friday 19 September 2003,
I walked a section of the Wall from the western end at Bowness-on-Solway
to Birdoswald with a team of colleagues from BBC
Radio Cumbria.
During
the walk, I met walkers from all over Britain and beyond who had
come to our area to walk the Hadrian's Wall Path.

walking the Wall was presenter Paul Braithwaite, BBC Radio Cumbria
presenter, who broadcast live from locations along the Wall every
morning.
