Illuminating Hadrian's Wall

Am about to head off to Northumberland to view this major public art event/ celebration of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site (www.illuminatinghadrianswall.com). I quote from the website:
Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall will create a spectacular line of light from coast to coast. This once in a lifetime event will take place on Saturday 13 March 2010 and will follow the route of the 84 mile long Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail. Around 500 individual points of light placed at 250 metre intervals will be used to light up the Wall. The first one will be illuminated at a public event at Segedunum Roman Fort at Wallsend in the North East, with the line of light then making its way along the Wall to Bowness-on-Solway in Cumbria over the following hour. As it reaches Carlisle there will be a second public event ‘Welcoming the Light’ to celebrate the light’s arrival and passing through.
Illuminating Hadrian’s Wall aims to capture the imagination and highlight the immense scale and beauty of Hadrian’s Wall and the countryside, villages, towns and cities that it passes through. 2010 is also the 1600th anniversary of the end of Roman Britain in AD410 – one of the greatest turning points in our history. So as well as celebrating a truly iconic piece of world heritage the line of light will help to mark this hugely significant anniversary.
Why am I interested? I grew up close to the Wall - it was a favourite location for family outings and also school trips. And I have invested a lot of time as a consultant working with many different stakeholders across the area helping them to develop a more responsible approach to tourism development. So I have a personal and professional interest in seeing the event. But even more importantly, it gives me a great opportunity to celebrate my 50th birthday not just with my wife and my parents but with thousands of others! And they are lighting 500 candles for me!
