Humberton Guard Guild Website

In 10 days time, I will start my next long distance hike. After discovering the National Trails a few years ago, http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/ I have felt the need to walk them. It started with Hadrians Wall, then the South Downs.

This year I will walk the land of Glyndwr and the Black Mountains. I hope I can avoid Mootang and King Smugluk, as I don't have much room for weaponry in my backpack!

happy trails grib . did alot of this when i was about 24 some of the scenery in the UK is breath taking

watch out for the afancs and the cwn annwn!

oh and be carfull plz grib . The weather in wales ect can kill you if your caught short with crap gear
obvious i know but pack the right kit
hope you like castles as wales has some of the best iv seen

once your done with the UK . i recomend the irish coast

Thanks for the advice mate. It isn't my first long distance hike so I have some experience in selecting what kit to bring, and I have a Ray Mears bushcraft training under the belt too

But 2 years ago when walking Hadrians Wall, we were pounded by heavy rains for 2 days straight and the membrane of my jacket, which was very expensive and very good, but 10 years old, was no longer able to keep out the water. I just hadn't realized these membranes can wear out, and arrived at the camp site like a drowned cat and cold to the bone with purple lips. It's not always a walk in the park

I would love to explore different lands as well, it's just that the national trails website is so good for planning purposes that so far I stuck to English walks

not a bad thing really there are loads in the uk . And as you say that website is superb
ouchies at the soaking you got there m8 lol

And ray mears is god !!!!!!!!!
have fun

HF Fritz!

Have fun, looking forward to hearing your stories when you get back
