Hadrian's Wall Path

Has anyone done the 84 mile Hadrian's Wall Path? I am looking for wisdom in whether to walk East to West or West to East, how strenuous it is and any other helpful hints.

I took it from west to east for a few miles by bicycle that I rented in Brampton?. It was wonderful. That particular portion paralleled the road so it was not strenuous for me. I stopped when the road ceased to follow the wall but I remembered looking beyond. It was a gentle rolling landscape. To me it did not look difficult for that particular stretch. You may also want to look into whether you are allowed to hike the entire path if you haven't looked into it already. I believe the wall crosses some private properties & I am not familiar w/the British laws pertaining to hiking through them. Maybe the British posters on this helpline can assist you further.
