It has two names apparently, Hadrians Wall campsite on their official webpage or Belvedere if you look on UK campsites. I'm more of a flat, beach walker with the dogs rather than a rugged wall http://belvederecampsite.co.uk/home.html

Thanks to all, thinking of attempting the back end of this month so will take the advise offered here and let you know how we do.

Both the dog forum and the walking forum will get used too.

Thanks

Even on a lead, make sure you go well clear around cows with calves, not through the middle of the group.
I speak from experience.

If you'd sussed that anyway, apologies.

Me too.

I can tell you about my experience with a herd of cows, but I won't.
Suffice to say, it involved a sunny Sunday picnic on the Central line to Theydon Bois.
Myself and an amorous young female selected the wrong field to indulge ourselves, back in the day.

I can't speak of the walking path but the Hadrians Wall cycle route is far from "fairly flat" in the middle bit, although extremely beautiful.

Some people of my acquaintance did the walk in a couple of groups three years ago and I took a group on bikes to do the ride, theres a blog of the walkers five day effort out there somewhere if you want me to find it, its got their camp site info and stuff like that on it.

My advice would be to do it on a bike - two days one stop over

Not sure how the dog would get on though.

"Fairly flat" reminds me of when I used to choose my next running event from the back pages in the running magazines.
Each race was described in abbreviations, one of which was "U" which stood for "Undulating".
Some of those "U" routes felt more like hilly to me.

Scooter, with shortened handlebars.

Yes his red one would be perfect, I'll have to pump the tyres up though
