The British Redcoat and his wife are doing a chunk northbound.
Expat from Solihull, West Midlands....
May catch up with you later in the year, mid July, as I attempt to complete the trail from New York State northbound.
Best of luck with it!
Bring your own tea bags, American tea sucks!
That's because we threw all of yours in Boston Harbor.Quote:

After I do my thru, I plan to replicate John Hillaby's trip that he documented in the wonderful book "A Walk Through Britain."Quote:

Your own thread has some nice ideas. For those who haven't seen it yet:

While I love the US for it's wide open wild spaces, I miss the UK for public bridleways and hiking paths just about everywhere...always easy to take a short 2-3 mile walk at lunch by the river, or through the fields. Not so much here!
I'm looking to go, this was more a thing of trying to find people in the UK than on the actual trail. Plan is from my hometown to Atlanta at the moment, whether that changes is another storyQuote:

You see, I want to hike a lot but it's just finding people to with either my friends have different vacation days than me or they're not interested/busy.. :'(
Yeah I have my brother and two friends I hike with in UK but if there busy or I'm hiking in Ireland I just hike on my own. I'm happy with my own company and its nice starting and finishing etc when I want to. Having said that it's allways nicer to hike with friends

Totally agree, hence why I started this to potentially find more people to hike with and a trail buddy/partner for the AT.. Hopeful, but worth a shot at least. I finally decided on my trail name too.. :DQuote:

Thinking of flying to New York as its so expensive to book flights to Atlanta and then take train or greyhound to Atlanta
I know it's an old post! But I'm wondering who else is going March / April 2018. .and how you're getting from A2B etc..
Going again this year, but will take a plane from Copenhagen to New York and from there to Atlanta
Will the stay in Atlanta at a random motel near Sandy Springs as I will do supply and all that there
Then take an Uber or something next morning to Amicalola
Will go from Denmark the 28. March and start in Amicalola the 30 March
Take the train.Quote:

You can also take the train all the way to Gainesville and be that much closer to Springer.
