I'm thru hiking the AT in 2016 so I was curious to see if there were any other '16 hikers lurking about!

You didn't specifically ask for FEMALE hikers, so I guess I'll jump in this time with:

Hoping to NOBO in 2016, start date TBD.
I am go to retire in January 2016 and thru hike starting in March.
I plan to NOBO hike starting a little later in the year, probably around mid May 2016 after I graduate from Grad School.
I'm starting my NOBO thru hike the end of March 2016!
Life is full of ups and downs! Hike on!
I'm lurking! 2016 NOBO ~ Mid-March!
Looks like there will be plenty of company. I have been asking about the same thing as I intend to start late FEB - mid MAR. Already been in contact with one of the other guys in the forum. This will be my first goal set for after I retire. Have wanted to do it for a while but not much flexibility was offered in my job. I would guess that a few people starting out together would be a good thing as long as the group is not too big. Just a thought.
I might end up being able to do only 50% of the trail (car trouble yay) but I'm looking forward to it! Hopefully this year's Black Friday/Cyber Monday and New Years will get me some steep discounts on gear. I need to make up 634 dollars and 75 cents.

I plan to start on May 1, 2016. I plan to do a flip flop from Harpers Ferry, W.Va., north to Katahdin; Harpers Ferry, W.Va., south to Springer Mountain. I know of at least two more who will start about the same time.
I will be starting NOBO after I graduate in May of 2016 as well!!

Southbounder here in 2016 - looking like mid-July, beginning of August. I'm quitting IT and becoming a homesteader working odd jobs after the AT, in a little shed to cabin conversion back in TN.
After living out of a backpack, that shed will be like a mansion
Looking at a 2016 NOBO mid-March departure as well!
I want to start as early as I can for a NOBO but also don't want to hike in really bad weather. If it is not to rough of a winter I will be leaving closer to Feb. I would hope my latest possible start would be mid-March.
Don't mean to tread on the Ladies or women site but my 4 legged partner & I plan a Southern March as flowing South with the Fall leaves.Maine in August and Georgia by Christmas
Celtic Walker and I will see you on the Trail
I will be hiking NOBO in 2016 with my 2 dogs. Hope to see you out there!
I am hoping to start early March of 2016!
