Caesar Salad in Nero on Hadrian's Wall?

Probably an unlikey combination!! But I'm definitely turning a bit Roman as we approach the Wall. I've started walking in straight lines and admiring marble surfaces. However, the modern version of these three Emperors is something we probably won't see, but real ale pubs - now that's another matter!!

A good example of this is the Boathouse at Wylam. This pub has 14 real ale pumps along the length of the bar...and is a perfect place for one of our stops en route. It is in the classic "fourdaysrunning" slot - 10 miles done, 10K to go!!

If you are up in the area you can meet us in the pub on Friday May 4th at about 4.00pm. Although we won't be able to try all the ales, there are at least 14 of us so...
