I am pleased to announce that I will be attending this year’s Hadrian’s Wall Pilgrimage. A (now) once-every-ten-years event, the pilgrimage was started in 1850 by John Collingwood Bruce. The event is quite costly, and lasts seven days, moving from the west coast to Newcastle in the east. I am privileged to have won a Hadrian’s Wall Pilgrimage Bursary from the Robert Kiln Charitable Trust. This bursary will pay my attendance fee, coach fare, accommodations, and meals.
The pilgrimage will take place in August, 8-14 August and will include 3 nights in each Carlile and Newcastle. Leading scholars of the Wall and Rome’s northern frontiers will be in attendance, and I hope to learn alot from them. It will also be an excellent opportunity to make additional contacts and further develop the professional relationships I have been able to make here in the UK. This will be a unique opportunity to visit the length of this important World Heritage Site. I look forward to the pilgrimage, and to reporting on it… if only August would come faster!
