Something very different but intriguing... We shall venture from the Central Station to the Bardon Mill station. Then, we shall walk 1 hour and 10 minutes up Twice Brewed Inn for a quick toilet stop and meet up with anyone coming by car. The plan is to walk up to Hadrian's Wall (not too far into it), enjoy the stars, and return home.
