hmmm could be fun what games will we be playing on the way?

It's 84 miles we won't be carrying anything other than food tent, sleeping stuff and the clothes on our backs. At the end of it we can play some games.

You will just need enough clothing to protect against the cold, wind, rain and snow. If you want me to I could provide a list of things you might want to look into. I am actually still getting stuff prepared. Food will be the last thing I do though. I still have to buy gaiters, socks and a jumper but I have found all of them I just need more money to buy them. Next week I should be ready with everything except the food. Just so you know you will actually have to really want to do this, it won't be easy and it's incredibly dangerous. It's a bad idea to underestimate the english weather. But you probably already know that.

Cool. I have always wanted to go. Maybe the following year after. I only get 3 weeks off a year and they are always in January. Do you have experience then. Or maybe I could go straight after the walk. I would have to look at my funds though.

Nope. I've gone on long walks but i've never slept in a tent. I also have a bad knee. 

But there's always a first time for everything^^

Did you do it in January. If yes can you tell me everything there is to know about it and if no can you tell me everything anyway.

No, I did it during the summer. Though I can bet it will be slippy, wet and probably miserable days. Weather wise anyway. Just remember the warm clothing, good walking boots and decent layering of your clothes.

Just thought i'd clarify. I have a bad knee. But that only means i limp a bit. I won't be a liability since i can still run,jump and climb.

... Wow. It's surprisingly not that far to drive either  :o It's a one day drive

I really hope i've got the time to pop over to the isle of man afterwards too. (If i can go)

How much would a plane cost. Or you could try a boat across. I thought I had a long way to go, I live in the north of England.

I have pretty much all my clothing sorted it's just about testing it all before I go and making any improvements and adding some more stuff.

A plane would probably be cheaper. But this is the price i pay for having a fear of flying.

Boating across might be an option. Haven't looked into it that much.

But then there is the nice thing about driving. I can stay overnight in brugge or gent. Get a hamburger in hamburg for obvious reasons. get my car stolen in liverpool. Check out amsterdam on the way home.

Go vistit my relatives in denmark (And my uncles grave) And probably stop for shopping in kiel. Not sure if i'd want to drive through london though. But that would be nice too

I completely understand I also have a fear of flying. People were not meant to fly it's why we have legs. I wouldn't drive through London, it's best to avoid all mayor cities if you actually want to get anywhere. If you were to drive it I would think it could take about 2 days. It's probably best to boat it across the North Sea and then get there quicker. You could always take a train around England if you want to go places.

It seems like all ferries from the nordic countries to england have been removed. :/ 

And yeah i was expecting a 2 day trip. I'd set off early from sweden and keep moving until i get to brugge or gent. That's a 12-13 hour drive i guess.

Then it would just be a short drive to calais and a ferry across the channel. With a nice stay at a hotel before i get to whatever meeting point the hike would start at.
