I prefer to walk on my own but over the years have had several people ask if they can join me on a long distance route. I have not wanted to offend them by flatly turning them down so have said," I intend to bivvi all the way on this one to keep the pack weight low and keep costs down.I have walked the route before and know of several ditches,bus shelters,public toilets and church porches than are excellent bivvi sites.If its raining I might be able to persuade a friendly farmer to let us use his rat infested barn for the night.You are quite welcome to join me".So far no one has taken up the offer.
