Looks amazing. Sadly, I can’t afford the flight back or would definitely be considering it. Have a wonderful time and do it again next year with a little more warning and we might be able to plan our trips home to coincide.

Good luck with it everyone!

Might be smart to put all the snorers in the same room.

How much would it cost to have a masseuse waiting for us at the end of each day? I’d chip in extra for that.

I don’t know the logistics yet, but I will most likely come a few days early, sightsee London, then get to you however I need to. Train? Glad we have a year to figure this out.

Once you have confirmation on the American contingent, maybe some of us could arrange travel plans together.

Boots? You mean I can’t just wear flip-flops?

@Avitable, no worries. this sort of thing isn’t for everyone and you more than did your bit last year.

You stay nice and snug in your comfy bed:)

@Clair, as am I. a litttle bit panicked about where we are all going to sleep, but excited non the less.

Thanks for the invite, Dan – and sorry to have to decline, but psoriatic arthritis limits my walking quite severly these days, and without Charlie’s pushchair to lead on…

However, I have bigged-up the event on my blog today!

Hope all goes well.

Arjan, did you not find the secret code in the text this time round?

Two things more to add that we have found on previous walks, boots need to be properly worn in (over a number of short walks), we lost one to a ridiculous number of blisters (and nearly a second) on the Pennine Way.

Its good to do a fairly long walk the week before to get the stiffness out of the limbs. I found this really helped me recover on day 2.

Also, if you are Dan, you can save weight by not taking any basic toiletries such as ‘a toothbrush’ (teeth only really need to be brushed once a week, don’t they?).

What is an Ocelot anyway?

While this is something that sounds like it would be quite fascinating to do and be a fun experience, I’m way too high maintenance to do something like this, given the types of accommodations and the horror of the possibility of camping.

It should be a great time for those of you who do it, though.
