How to do a long-distance walk
Planning, planning and more planning… Preparing for a long-distance walk is essential to avoid small issues becoming big problems. You should be at the right level of fitness for the challenge ahead, have the right kit and have an achievable itinerary that you have shared with someone. Planning your route legs and accommodation stops in advance is very important. You should understand your own abilities and have a plentiful supply of food and drink, along with the kit needed to cope with the unexpected.
The Ordnance Survey – Get Outside and Long Distance Walkers Association websites have good detailed guidance on preparing for a long-distance walk.
