However, this isn’t just any walk. First, they flew to London. Then, they’re meeting up and walking along Hadrian’s Wall in Northern England. That’s 84 miles, for the record. They’ll do it over several days, of course. You might be wondering why. There are two reasons, but they can’t just be listed #1 and #2. Well, maybe they can. The two … [Read more...]
