MEET ME, Next Week!
I'm going to be walking from Nottingham to Taunton some time next week.
If you live on route and want to meet up, PM me, and I'll give you more details.

It seems to be about 185 miles, providing I don't get lost.
Will take me 61 hours of continual walking. I will try to do it without sleeping, so it'll be 2 days 13 hours, at a normal walking pace.
That's a good point about the multi-tool!!! I'm screwed!

RE: MEET ME, Next Week!
I'll give a quick cut of my route.
I'll be passing through:
Nottingham
Tamworth
Birmingham
Redditch
Evesham
Gloucester
Almondsbury
Bristol
Burnham-on-sea
Bridgewater
Taunton
That's my route.
Please note, I've not put any effort into this, in regards to training.
The question is, do I take my BOB or GHB?
For the route, I'm thinking, Lightened BOB.
Would love feedback on this.
