I would be very interested if this lady does the walk and mileage she wants,especially with a 1 year old in tow.
I wish her well,but I wonder if her goal might be set a tad high for the walk to be enjoyable. I could be wrong.
Maybe I am getting soft,but wotsabout the washing and toileting at night. And getting and cooking grub. It all takes time.
Yes,and again,it can be done,but maybe a bit too SAS?
I think planning and booking accommodation is a whole new ball game theseadays. All things have changed. There are lots more people on the move and by my experience less BxBs by the locals.
I'm less on foot theseadays and more on bike,but reasonable accommodation can get booked. Next offering can be 10 or more miles away. That can be problematic by bike let alone foot. Chain hotels seem to be ousting local lettings in my experience.
The whole experience of doing thru hiking is much more complex than what it first appears. Ok: its not when yer 18/40 and can self camp,but outside these perimeters its....how do you say...more of a challenge.
I'd like to have another go at thru hiking and camping but my knees wont allow it. And it might bring on a divorce. Age has tempered my drive.
If this lady does it and enjoys it with youngster I applaud her. It'll be a good story to tell,but I don't think one I would ever have attempted.
The weather may make it happen or no
