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.

Walking in the cold dark autum, without the the armchair preppers super sized over priced multi tool? Your crazy!

All jokes aside, how far you walking? Good luck meeting people and have fun.

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!

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.
