How far away is a horizon ..?
Hadrian’s Wall from the North Sea to the Irish Sea,
excellent for trekking but hard for ‘mountain’ biking
in the footsteps of roman legionaries across England
just south of the border with Scotland.

I love the quote myself
– and you aren’t alone we all need to broaden our horizons, aren’t we..? 🙂 🙂
I love Hadrian’s Wall, Drake, and its rugged landscape. But then, I’m not a biker, or very far-sighted. 🙂

The east end isn’t far from you when you are in England, I guess… 🙂
The walk along Hadrian’s Wall may well also be taken into smaller stages… 🙂
I have done some walking in the area, Drake, but not recently. Time to go back! (isn’t it always?) 🙂
It could be – many times there are great pleasures coming up if we “re-visit” a place… 🙂
Thank you for taking us to the past in the horizon! Very cool, Drake!
#.amy
Yeah, i n the distance are the ruins of an ancient roman garrison… 🙂
Our past goes on forever and so does our horizons.
#.gardinal guzman
Agree with you… 🙂
Being a history buff and having read lots of English and Roman history, I’d love to see Hadrian’s Wall. Thanks for the glimpse and a great quote.

Glad you like it, really appreciates… 🙂
History can be interesting and instructive
but we don’t always learn anything and do the same mistakes again… 🙂
Consider me impressed!
#.paula
Really appreciates… 🙂 🙂
Wonderful view of the Hadrian’s wall and excellent post. I often talk about Hadrian’s wall to my pupils at school, but I’ve never seen it except in photo… Have a relaxing week-end Ledrake!
#.laura

Have a wonderful week… 🙂
Excellent post, great quote.
#.jan masyn
Thanks a lot – agre about the quote… 🙂
So interesting to see a picture of this famous wall. Do you know how long it goes on for?
#.colline
It’s really very interesting walking along (or biking) the Hadrians Wall – the total length is about 120 km – but people can walk (or bike) shorter or longer stages… 🙂
Very inconsiderate of the Romans not to make their walls more suited to Mountain biking! It’s a remarkable credit to the Celts that the Romans had to cordon them off. Great pic.
#.chas spain
Thanks really appreciate you like it… 🙂
Yeah at least they could have used some smaller stones, some pebbles… 🙂
It seems that the Romans feared both the celts and the scots… 🙂
Świetna fotografia!
Zahaczyłeś leciutko o Szkocję 🙂
Pozdrawiam, Drake!

Even being hard for ‘mountain’ biking, the scenery is a true pleasure, Drake! And the quote…can’ t disagree with wisdom 🙂
#.ese
Thanks a lot really appreciate you like both the quote and the photo… 🙂
Yeah some parts included some to big stones for mountain biking
– so we have to bike a long the wall… 😉
I love how your photo gives the impression of cutting across the horizon. Great shot!

Although known to me, this pic is the first I have seen of “Hadrian’s Wall” Thank you Le Drake _Resa xo
#.resa
The nature along the 120 km long wall do change several times
– and some of it looks like prairie… 🙂 😉
Hadrian’s wall though the prairies, that sounds like a great shot! Maybe you’ll take it one day? “lol” You might already have it! 🙂 😉
Probably… 😉
Probably? Nobody teases like you do! 🙂
