It's one of the best things we've ever done. There is nothing quite like waking up in the morning and seeing the sun rise or just being at one with nature. We're making plans for next year's trips!

Smidge over 100 miles, obviously you could do it in sections rather than one big hit, but would make a lovely (and relatively flat!) intro to distance walking. Just whack your tent up wherever you end up that night. Anglers do it all the time, trust me, nobody will care! Just take pics and enjoy :) Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-65983862052570180972017-12-29T15:56:39.204-08:002017-12-29T15:56:39.204-08:00So glad you've got your camping stuff sorted! ...So glad you've got your camping stuff sorted! It's an absolute blast, all I'd say is to add a pack of blister plasters and some emergency bog roll to your kit, and a map (never trust it all to your phone - if it dies, so do your maps) and please keep us informed of your adventures in the new year. Oh, after bite spray is good too, if you suffer from horseflies? Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.com
