Advice wanted/needed for big hike. Not prepper related

[Tarrel]

First of all, congratulations and hats-off to you for volunteering. I did the TGO Challenge a couple of years ago in support of Shelterbox. (Coast to coast across Scotland, 170 miles self-supported, but over two weeks!)

Don't know what terrain you're walking over, but you might consider trail shoes instead of boots, especially if the route involves a lot of road or track walking.

Take an ipod and music to sing along to. Seriously! It'll keep your morale up.

Take things to snack on. High carb such as nuts, and sugary to give an immediate energy bbost.

Remember also, the only way to train for a long walk is to walk a long way. Get plenty of practice in! Good luck.
