This was too much for Eldrick who happened to see an old tramp steamer at the quayside.

The tramp had, in fact, fallen into the dock and was now drying out on the quay. He was in full sunlight which accounted for the steam.

The tramp assured Eldrick that if he followed the posts ( :-D) he would be at Hadrian's wall before he knew it.

Hadrian was one of the tramps' biggest benefactor and was also known to provide transport on occasions such as when particularly obnoxious types refused to leave!

followed their instructions and felt he would soon be back en route to Scotland - he had heard of Hadrian's Wall but had always thought it to be part of a house - so off he went following the posts which hopefully would lead him to the wall - so far so good he thought

He just knew that when he finally reached his ancestoral home, he was going to change it's name to 'Dun Roamin'. Turning for one last look at the huge mound that lay unmoving on the floor, he made a bolt for the door.
