SUMMARY:Alumni Event Opportunity: Hiking Hadrian's Wall
DESCRIPTION:2026 Alumni TripTrip Overview\nSpend six days hiking the best of Hadrian’s Wall Path\, the most scenic 55 miles of the path that follows the remains of the ancient Roman wall constructed by the emperor Hadrian in 122 CE.  We will walk an average of nine miles per day with light day packs rather than full backpacks\, and our evenings will be spent in picturesque bed & breakfasts in the English countryside. On the way we’ll learn about the history of Roman Britain as we encounter its footprints tucked within churches\, amidst rolling hills\, and alongside lambing sheep. We will begin and end our trip in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh\, where we will meet up with the 2026 Epic Advantage students who will have just completed their own hike of Hadrian’s Wall Path. While there\, we will have the opportunity to explore Edinburgh castle\, the National Museum of Scotland\, and to enjoy world-class food along the Royal Mile.\n Trip Cost\nWe estimate the following trip costs (we will know more when we begin booking):\n \n 	Sharing a double room for all 12 nights: $3500\n 	Having your own room for the 4 nights in Edinburgh: $4000\n\nThis estimate does not include air travel\, but does include hotel reservations\, entrance tickets\, and in-country transit\, and a $50 per diem for meals.\n Trip HighlightsWe will hike about nine miles per day. The longest day is twelve miles. The shortest is five. We partner with a local company who will bring take our bags each morning and drop them at that evening’s bed & breakfast\, leaving us free to walk largely unencumbered through the English countryside.\n\nWe will see the most intact portions of Hadrian’s Wall\, Arthur’s Seat\, the Vindolanda Roman Fort\, a temple of Mithras\, Lanercost Priory\, and more turrets & milecastles than you can count. There will be museums a’ plenty\, snack busses\, glorious vistas and maybe – if we are very lucky – peacocks.\n The Itinerary:\n\n\nWednesday\, June 3\nArrival in Edinburgh\n\n\nThursday\, June 4\nExplore Edinburgh\n\nMeet up with Earlham students\n\n\nFriday\, June 5\nExplore Edinburgh Castle\n\n\nSaturday\, June 6\nDepart Edinburgh by train for Heddon-on-the-Wall\n\n\nSunday\, June 7\n10 mile hike: Heddon-on-the-Wall to Portgate\n\n\nMonday\, June 8\n5 mile hike: Portgate to Chollerford\n\n\nTuesday\, June 9\n12 mile hike: Chollerford to Once Brewed\n\n\nWednesday\, June 10\nRest Day\n\nExploration of Vindolanda Roman Fort\n\n\nThursday\, June 11\n8 Mile Hike: Once Brewed to Gilsland\n\n\nFriday\, June 12\n8 Mile Hike: Gilsland to Walton\n\n\nSaturday\, June 13\n11.5 Mile Hike: Walton to Carlisle\n\n\nSunday\, June 14\nDepart Carlisle by train for Edinburgh\n\n\nMonday\, June 15\nDeparture from Edinburgh\n\n\nInterested?\n\n\n\nComplete the interest form for Hiking Hadrian’s Wall
