Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsAn unbelievable walk, inexpressible in words.
Your Best Equipment
Tea towel. Don't bother with an inexpensive microfibre one. It's cheaper and works as a beach towel, shower towel, and of course a tea towel.
Your Worst Equipment
Thermal top was too small and kept making my back cold when it rode up.
Advice for Others
Slow down. If you're an average hiker, plan at least 55 days for an E2E.

Highlight of your trip
Doing it with my mum was a highlight. Working as a team and having a coffee brought to me in bed every day at 5 am was nice.
