Revised event times.
Dear All,
Following the site visits made in the last few weeks to the places we'll be stopping at along the walk, we have come up with a slightly revised list of event times:
Friday 30th July. Segedunum (Wallsend), 10.00 AM – 12.00 PM
Saturday 31st July. Corstopitum (Corbridge), 11.30 AM – 1.30 PM
Saturday 31st July. Cilurnum (Chesters), 4.00 PM – 6.00 PM
Sunday 1st August. Vircovicium (Housesteads), 12.30 PM – 1.30 PM
Sunday 1st August. Vindolanda (Chesterholm), 2.30 PM – 4.30 PM
Monday 2nd August. Roman Army Mus (Carvoran), 10.00 AM – 11.00 AM
Monday 2nd August. Banna (Birdoswald), 12.00 PM - 1.00 PM
Tuesday 3rd August. Tullie House Museum (Carlisle), 10.00 AM – 12.00 PM
Please bear in mind that these times are approximations only, and will depend upon how fast we're walking at any given point. If we arrive early to a site, we'll stay until the advertised departure time, and if we arrive late, we'll stay late.
The plan is to have a show and tell table and a combat display at each site, subject to the weather - if it's bad we'll have to cancel the fight and hide indoors. The only exception to this will be the Roman Army Museum at Carvoran, where we'll only be doing the show and tell, whatever the weather.
Hope to see loads of you at one (or more) of the sites, thanks for reading.
All the Best,
Stuart Ivinson and Kevin Morley, Hadrian's Help for Heroes.

Update.
Dear All,
It's been quite a while since the last post - for which we apologise - but we've not been idle, so I thought I'd bring you all up to date with what's been going on.
On 30th May we went up to Hadrian's Wall and visited the four sites we'll be displaying at. We met the site managers and sorted out where we could put our arena etc. The staff at each site were all very friendly and it was good to get stuff sorted.
We also visited the other - non English heritage - sites along the Wall on 11th June. Once again the visits went well and we're now positively salivating at the prospect of getting stuck in.
I've also been on a practice walk to test my Roman marching boots. Fifteen miles or so of rugged terrain around Cross Fell and the North Pennines were a suitable challenge - the terrain was much tougher than anything we'll face on the Wall itself. The boots were brilliant, and I've ticked them off the list of things that could go wrong...
As well as all this Kev and I have started working on our combat techniques, getting ideas for the sword and shield demo we'll be doing at each site. We have been aided in this by ourn noble understudy John Powney, who will be bravely stepping into the breach and taking over costumed walking and demonstration duties should either Kev or I break before or during the Walk.
So as you can see, we've been busy! We'll also be contacting the Press in the next week or so to try and get further coverage of the event and convert that intio cold hard cash for the cause.
Further updates will be forthcoming, but for now - bring on 30th July!
All the Best,
