Hey guys.... because of some stupid procrastination, poor foresight and some rather ...ahem.... less than intelligent choices, I'm now waiting on paperwork and post and stupid stuff in order to get my renewed passport (from UK) and will still need to get my US visa. With a little Christmas miracle I'll be ok for my original planned start date (22nd March) or slightly late one... guess till about April 15th. However, it's reasonably likely because of possible lost post that I'm going to be delayed a bit (or a lot!)
What would be the latest (but comfortable) I should start northbound if I NEED to be finished by latest of October 1st? - don't want to rush and I'm not an experienced hiker, though have done a 500 mile trail before.
Or I could leave May 19th, or I could leave July 21st. With these dates in mind, am I correct in assuming that the former would be a flip flop and the latter a southbound? I would love to be there sometime in March/early April, but ...AGHHHH! :) :) :) any general pointers.... just feeling quite frustrated about things beyond my control.
