Organisers are looking for 500 people to help create a line of light from one side of Britain to the other, along the length of Hadrian’s Wall, on 13th March 2010.
Each of the volunteer ‘Illuminators’ will be part of a small team responsible for lighting one of the 500 individual points of light that will be placed at 250 metre intervals along the route of the 84 mile long Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail.
The first of the lights will be illuminated at Segedunum Roman Fort at Wallsend in the North East of England. Each of the other lights will then be lit in sequence by the Illuminators, with the line of light reaching Bowness-on-Solway on the Cumbrian coast about an hour later.
Anyone who would like to be one of the Illuminators will need to register on the website at www.illuminatinghadrianswall.com before 22nd February. (Illuminators must be aged 18 or over.)
For those keen to watch rather than actively participate as an illuminator, two free events will take place, one at Segedunum in Wallsend where the line of light will start and the other at Carlisle in Cumbria, to welcome the light into the North West.
