THE THIRTEENTH PILGRIMAGE OF HADRIAN'S WALL
8th to 14th August, 2009
The Pilgrimage
For students of the Roman Empire, Rome's frontiers and her armies, the Hadrian's Wall Pilgrimage is a remarkable opportunity. The Pilgrimage offers a detailed introduction to this remarkable World Heritage Site guided by leading specialists in the field. The Pilgrimage of Hadrian's Wall will start on the evening of Saturday 8 August and end with the final dinner on the evening of Friday 14 August 2009. The order of progress will be from west to east, starting at Moresby and working eastwards to South Shields. The programme has been arranged in themes:
the Cumbrian Coast, the Turf Wall, the Stanegate, the Stone Wall and
Tyneside. There will be a particular focus on new work on the Wall,
including the differences between the forts on the Cumbrian coast, the new information provided by geophysics, the research on the surviving earthworks and the discovery of pits on the berm and their implications, as well as walking different sections. Special lectures will be held, considering Hadrian's Wall in literature and on the "souvenir" pans from Britain, including the latest find, the Ilam pan on which there will be a special exhibition in Tullie House Museum, Carlisle.
The Bursaries
Each bursary is worth £500 and covers the cost of coach travel during
the pilgrimage, guides, receptions, entrance charges, welcome and final dinners, and lunches. Dinner, bed and breakfast in Carlisle for four nights and three in Newcastle is also provided.
