A disabled teen has become the first person to complete an 84-mile trek of Hadrian's Wall across England in a wheelchair.
Brynn Hauxwell, 17, who has autism, ADHD, severe asthma, and fixed ankle contractures, took on the historic trail on the border between England and Scotland as part of a charity challenge.Brynn, from the Shetland Islands north of Scotland, had dreamed of completing the route after he visited some of the museums associated with the rock wall and saw some parts of it from the vantage of his wheelchair when he was 12 years old.
The arduous journey - which began in Bowness-on-Solway, in England's Cumbria region bordering Scotland on May 27 and ended 10 days later at Wallsend, near Newcastle on the Tyne River to the east - saw Brynn and his team traveling around eight to nine miles a day and at times going as slow as one mile an hour.
The Youth Hostel Association provided accommodation for the group, where the hostel acted as a base for the group.
