How are we going to do it?

Other than the obvious of getting out of bed and walking (as good old Forest Gump did!) we will be:

• Staying with friends and at B&Bs and Youth Hostels along the way.
• Wearing up to the minute gear including:
• Rucksacks with integral water containers.
• Titanium walking sticks.
• Micro fleece and next to skin clothing
• Lightweight but strong walking boots,
• Wristband GPS (Global Positioning Satellite), which will tell us where we
• are and how far we've walked etc.
• And, essentially, lightweight waterproofs.
• Plus many small items like plaster for the inevitable blisters
• Toilet gear
• Mobile phone
• Gloves, hat.
• Maps and guides etc. etc,
• Looking forward to the company of friends and family joining us along the way.

And when we get bored of each others company (which seems unlikely considering how much we BOTH have to talk about), we can switch on our little music players and enjoy the countryside to the sounds of music. All very Julie Andrews!
