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!

Good luck with that S13. Excellent challenge. Hats off to you.

How much weight are you carrying?

Just read that you haven't trained for this.

I'm concerned that you're underestinating the size of this challenge.

Temperatures are falling, dayligh is shortening, and higher chance of rain.

What's the max distance you've treked non stop to date?

You need to plan to have lights both to see with, and most omportantly to be seen by motorists.

You nee d to carry plenty of cash as a get out of trouble contingency. Likewise a fully charged Mobile phone.

I know from thepostings that you are very fit strength wise. This sort of chellenge isn't about pure physical strength, its about endurance and stamina. My experience is that the heavily built guys suffer badly at this sort of thing, and that rangey sinuous types fare far better ( I'm the latter)

I think some of the experienced trekers on this site should contribute with advice before you go tackilng somthing as big as this.

I don't want to put you off, but your declared lack of training worries me.
