If you have had blisters before then start off with silicone blister patchesto begin with,

Drink lots of water or your calf muscles will seize up
Monitor your electrolites and take Diorolite as neccessary

The longest walk I've done before is about 10 miles so its certainly going to be a challenge for me.

Things like avoiding blisters, keeping moral up if wind & rain is blowing in your face etc.. Any useful tips will be greatly appreciated.

bloody wright NR you will need to shave you chest ,and some grease for your balls and legs around them 100 miles is a long way to walk pal in 30 hours thats going to be a bastard!!! good luck pal.
