It's not mountaineering but, it's no walk in the park either. I have started by doing 50 mile/80km a week with 40km walks on a Sunday. I will use a backpack in the Easter break on a four day test of a part of the route. It's much harder than the Camino de Santiago which is a very popuar route. This one is around 25km per day with an average elevation and decent of 2000m. It's the equivalent of climbing Everest 3 times. 25km is pretty aggressive. You might want to cut it back to something like 15.5 miles until you are sure you are up to it. I think it's possible. I'm trekking light as I can because I can get food from the refugis and when I drop down into a village. I will take a rucksack and currently I'm adding extra weight each week. Slowly slowly catchy monkey. Some good advice though. |

I takes a special kinda dick to show up to brag about his big fancy schmansy walk when we have a well respected member here suffering from compartment syndrome and possible fasciotomy.

I walked to the Packy once (too drunk to drive). Does this count?
