Without you and your efforts my journey across your country would not have been possible. As it happens, I did get a chance to visit the Bath House. The problem with Segedunum in general was that by the time I arrived there I had already seen the recreations at Vindolanda, not to mention the superb ruins elsewhere along the Wall. I don't expect, however, that I am a typical audience for this sort of thing. I tend to value things a bit differently than most. Janet was lovely, as were all the people at the assorted B&Bs. If you like I can write up and send along a detailed "review". Just let me know. B Hello Lesley,

We were really interested to track your progress along the Wall (aided by Janet Walker of Walkers Bags who met you a couple of times!) So glad the blisters did not prove terminal. Your comments on the relative merits of the Roman museums/sites are very insightful. However, you are a bit scathing of Segedunum; I understand the reconstructed Bath House at Segedunum is really worth a visit. Did you get to see that?

I loved it, being an ancient Roman Brit myself and never having seen Hadrian's Wall. Of course we learned all about it in grammar school.<br /> Incidentally, my brother was on the excavations at St. Alban's Abbey in 1937 when they unearthed some wonderful mosaic floors. That's when I began to appreciate the Roman influence in the country. I was 10.</p> Again, a lovely piece. I loved it, being an ancient Roman Brit myself and never having seen Hadrian’s Wall.
