The View Through My Lens. Purchase My Fine Art Photography. Discover Pink: Team Margaret. Two years ago my best friend lost her year long battle with breast cancer. She was 29 years old and left behind a plethora of people who were devastated at losing this vibrant, caring, daughter, wife, mother, and friend. The walk this year was held at the Salem Conference Center. And passed through the Salem River Front taking us by the Salem Carousel. This year is the forth time we have walked. We walk with Mar...

Hadrian’s Wall: Day Nine | 500 Hikes

Laquo; Hadrian’s Wall: The Compleat Tale. Pihea Trail to Alaka’i Swamp. Hadrian’s Wall: Day Nine. December 18, 2011 by Ben. April 10, 2011 Carlisle to Bowness-on-Solway 18 (! All the walking in my city shoes has left me with a huge blister on my right heel, and Becky has slept poorly. We’re both fighting what could become a day-long bad mood, which I know can only be curtailed with one thing: techno dance music courtesy of BBC Radio 1. It works, and our spirits are much higher as we hit the trail. By the...

We awake at 7:30, trying to hit the road early, as we plan on extending our hike today. We wolf down croissants and lovely British butter, and marvel, yet again, at how good the coffee is. Becky MacGuyvers her shoelaces into a configuration that won’t agitate the sore spot on her foot:. The wind is almost strong enough to blow us over at the top, but...

This is still the remote part of the trail, so the outlines of the milecastles. And turrets are clearly visible. At this point, we noticed that this milecastle is numbered 42. Out of 80. We’re more than halfway done! Today we take elevensies at a picnic area near an old quarry. We stopped at the Roman Army Museum.

Pihea Trail to Alaka’i Swamp | 500 Hikes
https://500hikes.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/pihea-trail-to-alakai-swamp
Laquo; Hadrian’s Wall: Day Nine. Pihea Trail to Alaka’i Swamp. May 26, 2012 by Ben. Is spectacular. Just driving to the trailhead was pretty amazing, but we weren’t nearly finished. We parked at the end of the road, and geared up. Not half a mile later, we found this. This valley is just inland from the Na Pali Coast. Which makes it inaccessible by most means, including on foot. The best way to see it is on kayak, or from up here. At this point, I feel the need to give props to our new favorite shoes ever.

What this is | 500 Hikes
https://500hikes.wordpress.com/what-this-is
This blog is about three people, their muddy boots, and a checklist. A while ago, we discovered a book called 100 Hikes in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington. Contrary to its title, contained within these pages are 207 hikes practically in our neighborhood, trail guides to some of the most beautiful places in this most scenic part of the world. Many of these hikes are off the beaten path, and without the book we would have driven right past them. This blog is the brainchild of Becky, Ben, and Meg.

After sharing our breakfast table with a lovely Dutch couple on their way to Scotland, we set off under a cloudy sky. The tiny bit of sprinkling doesn’t worry us; we’re certain that ours will be the first Hadrian traversal ever. To be completed without bad weather. We stop at the Stag Inn. The weather clears as we reach Rickerby. A town ...

Hadrian’s Wall: Day Four | 500 Hikes

Laquo; Hadrian’s Wall: Day Three. Hadrian’s Wall: Day Five. Hadrian’s Wall: Day Four. June 20, 2011 by Ben. April 7, 2011 Humshaugh to Grindon Farm 9 miles. By now we had a morning routine. Showers, breakfast, blow-drying our last bits of wet laundry from the night before, boots and we’re off. We hiked the mile or so to our first museum at Chesters Fort. Where we waited and nursed our sore and swollen feet for 30 minutes until it opened. The terrain is starting to get hillier, a sign of things to come.
