Oakham councillor set for Roman wall trek

Oakham Town Councillor Adam Lowe is taking on a mammoth task this summer as he plans to walk Hadrians Wall Path in order to raise funds for two local charities which are close to his heart.

Hadrian's Wall stretches from the aptly named Wallsend in Newcastle Upon Tyne to the quaint village of Bowness-on-Solway in the west. The 84 mile (135km) Hadrian's Wall Path takes hikers across the rugged countryside of Northern England, following the world's largest Roman artefact.

Adam said: "My 2021 personal Challenge to Walk Hadrians Wall path (84 Miles) warrants some Fund Raising and this year I want to support Rutland Historic Church's, a registered charity which supports the upkeep of the Counties stunning church buildings and K.A.R.E., an unregistered charity set up in 2015 by myself, which has already supplied and fitted over 350 key safes for vulnerable and elderly Rutland residents completely free of charge.

"The walk is scheduled for June 2021 - 100% of ALL money donated will be split between the two Charities - I am covering the Project Costs."

Adam's training is already well under way, and he can be spotted walking the paths of Rutland as he prepares for this challenge.

Everyone at Oakham Town Council is sending Adam our support for his training and the full walk.
