Much the same, really. Only I start staring at the map a week or more before going! The aerial view idea is great. I used Multimap to view my last outing in Snowdonia, looking for the dam around Llyn Eigiau. I wanted to see if I could make out the breach that killed several people in 1925 when the wall gave way. It was plainly visible from the aerial shot and then that much more poignant when seeing it in real life. I try to memorise the route to minimise the amount of map reading.
Then there's the packing of the waterproofs, the packing of the Double Decker bars
and nutri-grain bars
. Filling up the Platypus, charging the phone and camera batteries, packing my lunch, survival bag, laying out the map case, compass, stick, boots, gaiters etc.
Afterwards it's shower, photos on the pc and start editing them. Then it's boots cleaned and allowed to dry slowly before re-waxing. Scrape the crud off the gaiters, trousers or waterproofs and email a few photos around.
It's all part of the fun!
