It's a great place and if you use the footpaths North of the Wall you will see very few people.

Well done, Chloe, for getting to Sycamore Gap. In fact, the stretch you walked is part of the most popular, and my favourite, section of the Trail - from Steel Rigg car park to Housesteads fort. I will look forward to meeting you out on the Trail this year.
