Hi there, just to let you all know Squeaky has now finished the 'CDT' in 75 days and 20 hours, that completes 2 trails back to back this year the 'PCT & CDT' what an amazing feat. The 'CDT' was 2700 miles and now Squeaky is at 'El Paso' Airport catching his flight up to 'JFK', and will be on the 'AT' on 15th October to try to complete the 'Triple Crown' this year. He sounds in fantastic form and has been walking between 44 and 50 everyday for the last few weeks.
His family are all back in England and N. Ireland and we wish him all the very best with the AT. We will all be flying to Springer to meet him and his party will begin.

Well done Squeaky, from a very very proud family.

No, he is hoping to be down in under 60 days, so therefore about the 10th December, depending on his health, weather and whatever else the trail throws at him, He will give it a good go anyway.

He is carrying all his own food, gear, and doing all his town stops. Totally unsupported.

There is also Hellkat out there that has left northbound in New Hampshire yesturday. We all met him early last winter at the Billville winter warmer at the Doyle. He made it all the way to Dalton Mass this spring before getting off and heading out to the PCT - finished that hike and is back here to hike until Dec 29th. I am sure he will finish the AT section that he needs - giving him the AT and the PCT in one year.
