Your pictures and description match mine from my trip with my two adult sons about 15 years ago. You’ve reinforced some great memories.

Oh absolutely. I would definitely pack extra kit if I did it again and used the transfer bus.
The only reason I’d tried to get it as light as possible to begin with was that I was hoping to carry it the whole way!

I was the same, Alan. It was so exciting in the run up to doing it and then all of a sudden it’s over.

Your comments are very helpful.
I used B&B and bunkhouses…..so my rucksack was just wet weather gear and clothes.
It could be gruelling at times, yet I was sad when it was over.
Suppose that says everything

Hi Nigel. I use a solar charger to charge my phone. It just needs an hour or so of daylight each day to give it a full charge and that lasted for the whole week.

Enjoyed your travel log and photos immensely, now awaiting the next instalment !
