Either way your final day of walking to get to Wallsend is going to be long. A lot of the trail is smooth grass, some pavement, and is relatively easy to walk. You may be in top condition and eating away the miles or you might be carrying niggles and injuries and feel exhausted. Listen to your body and let that make your decision of how hard to push yourself on this stretch. The countryside is much more groomed but no less picturesque along this section.
I enjoyed the marvellous countryside even though it was less rugged than Northumberland. There are some tough sections along the B The outer section of the Tyne is beautiful, with just the river and the nature surrounding it.
Alternatively you can keep walking out to Tynemouth or Southshields to get your view of the North Sea. Newcastle also has a metro that can be used if your legs are completely worn out. This gives you the opportunity to explore the city some more or to simply head back and crash at a hotel or BnB for the night exhausted after your epic 90 mile hike! The more research you do and hopefully this travel guide can help with that the less likely you are to miss out on anything you want to do or see.
With a trip like this, preparation is going to be your closest ally! This is a long point to point hike so requires coordination for how to get around. I like to use Rome2Rio to give me some ideas of the different ways I could travel to a location and then I piece together my trip using the information I find there! The app also tracked my distances and was useful for signalling any way marks I may have missed. You need to be prepared, not just in you cardiovascular system and muscles, but in your joints and ligaments.
Do gentle warm up and warm down stretches at the beginning and end of each day. If you are able to do some yoga in the lead up to the walk this will help you no end. Get into the habit of looking after your body and it will look after you! I then supplement this with photos from my iPhone. Turning up with new hiking shoes is a recipe for disaster. Do not buy a brand new pair of boots just before starting your trail. You need to know that they are comfortable first.
They should be worn in and tested with the socks you plan on wearing during your hike. If guides like this interest you, head over to my travel guide page to find more!

We use our local company for our waste collection who separate the rubbish at the depot. Nothing goes into landfill but we would love for everyone to consider what they put in our rubbish bins as much as possible.
Where is the nearest pub? The Milecastle Inn is to the West and is a small, cosy pub serving good pub food and local ale. It takes around 20 minutes to walk to the wall from the campsite and there is a car park at the wall which is less than 5 minutes away. There are a number of lovely local walks taking in the wall and the area around.

Manchester 2 hrs 30 mins Birmingham 3 hrs 35 mins Glasgow 2 hrs Edinburgh 2 hrs 30 mins Newcastle Upon Tyne 45 mins Carlisle 35 mins Leeds 2 hrs 30 mins. Just returned from a lovely weekend at this site.
We were on a hard standing touring pitch just by the entrance and what a lovely spot it was with amazing views of the countryside. The owners were lovely and friendly and they have this site immaculate. The toilets and shower block are spotless and I actually looked forward to going for my shower again on the 2nd night. We stayed here at last minute while passing through, called up at 9. There may be some spots you could camp at - but there are a lot of very militant farmers live along the wall.
In reply to I'd rather be climbing: For Sycamore Gap it'd have to be pretty late to get away with it, nearly always someone setting up to take the same photograph at all hours. Also, that section is all grazed farmland frequented by the farmer on his quad bike.
A bit further along and slightly off the wall but there's a bothy at Haughtongreen. In reply to I'd rather be climbing: Glad I asked the question.
Thanks guys, will check out Haughtongreen. In reply to I'd rather be climbing: I'd camp south of the wall. I think the estimate was 50 feral beasts.
