Getting Ready

The last month has been busy list writing, reading books and looking on line about what to take for 6 days on the WHW. I bought from Amazon a guide to the WHW and have borrowed a map and book from friends who have completed the walk (both were very enthusiastic about my plans).  Although I haven't read this from cover to cover it appears to have lots of information and maps, so hopefully no wrong turns!

 

All our accommodation is booked, so its good to know there is a bed waiting for us, but obviously the pressure is then on that you must reach your destination. We are walking approximately 20 miles a day with overnight stops at a mixture of inns, bed and breakfasts and hotels.  I am flying from East Anglia to Glasgow arriving a day before the walking commences so with only a cabin bag booked in,  I need to plan what i can fit in my case.

need to sit on this!

So here I am the night before frantically cramming clothes in (scottish weather means packing more to cover all eventualities), BUT I have got it all in and I don't have to travel in my walking boots - result!
