Jerrid Fullingim and his son, Tyler recently completed an 84-mile hike along Hadrian’s Wall in Great Britain. Spurred by the chance to raise money for charity and the opportunity to spend time with his son, Fullingim said that he was initially drawn to the wall’s history, but the trip “morphed into something else.”
Hadrian’s Wall, also called the Roman Wall, was a defensive fortification in the Roman province of Britannia, begun in AD 122 in the reign of the emperor Hadrian. It ran from the banks of the River Tyne near the North Sea to the Solway Fifth on the Irish Sea. It was the northern limit of the Roman Empire.
