However, giving the annoying...

Colorado Bob - I've got the WHW pencilled in this year for last week of Sept - supposed to be fab! Shame you're coming out so early.

Thanks again for all of the advice - much appreciated - and Dogwood, yes, you're correct, I am desperate to finish my last 400 miles of the AT first before hopping to PCT, though because of REALLY...

That's really helpful, thank you!

I am hoping to spend the first part of next year finishing trail miles I missed from my 2012 AT hike, so buy the time I jump to the PCT I will have about 700-1000...

Hello

I am considering a section of the FT next year but know very little about the area and finding it harder to research than the AT.

I want to do some hiking between 1st Jan and 18th March...

Just some advice from those who know the trail in VA well please....

In 2012 due to Hurricane Sandy I had to get off trail in the middle of nowhere on VA632 mile 662.6 going sobo. Was heading to...

Thanks for the detailed replies. :-)

I shall pick up a map and check out the areas you have suggested.

Hi there - looking for some help please http://postholer.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

As always after a bit of help from the hiking community! :-) I have found myself with a small window of time between 1st Feb and 20th March 2014 to be allowed to go hiking. I would like to go...

So glad you posted this as I was getting a tad wound up with the 'oh, it's road walking and the AT is a better wilderness experience' when people have seemed to bypass what the Camino is about and...

Got mine in the post yesterday - I was so excited I did a little dance :-)
I've even brought it to work today to bore all of my colleagues with it!

Thanks for all of the advice!

I'd really not like to buy another bag, so I will try rearranging the down (thanks Garlic!) and will try a foam pad as well.

I have a themarest ridgerest (full...

Thanks for the pictures! That has really helped.

I'm thinking I like the Nat Geo maps better - seems more what I'm used to just on a different scale.
Has anyone used these for their hike? Any...
