  • Story by Diane Daniel Photos by Wessel Kok
    CYCLING HADRIAN’S WALL Story by Diane Daniel Photos by Wessel Kok The National Cycle Network, which opened in 2006, was routed using mostly country roads and bikepaths. Save for a few spots, it is well signed. For walkers, there is the 84-mile Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail, which opened in 2003. In early October, we met our friends in Newcastle, then paid for private transpor- tation across the island to the Cumbrian coast. (Because of prevailing winds, most cyclists ride west to east.) My husband and I rented bikes, whereas our friends brought their tandem. We carried all our gear and winged it with lodging, but shuttle provid- ers are available for those wanting baggage transfer and nightly reservations. We were braced for bad weather but got only a couple of cloudy days and a mere hour of rain. What I hadn’t mentally prepared for was cycling on the opposite side of the road, a challenge, particularly through roundabouts. The route begins without fanfare (some of the signage in the route’s first stretch is not yet up) in Ravenglass, a tiny coastal community and former Roman port on the western edge of the Lake District. The start is at the well-preserved ruins of the Glannaventa Roman bathhouse. We left Ravenglass by a northern coastal trail dur- kay, you can stop staring now,’’ I following my every move. miles from the North Sea to the Irish Sea, of the wall are visible, ongoing excavation ing a tide so low that boats sat mud-locked called out between labored breaths.
