Are you a serious hiker? That is, a backpacker who can carry a week in your back-pack?
I'd like to think I am, but I've not done it like that for years. The appeal of a cosy pub or good meal at the end of a day (not to mention a shower) tend to mean that my friends and I go for long day hikes and stay in one location. But the idea of doing it properly again awakens my latent boy scout tendencies.
Izzy - I've often thought about the AT. When I was hiking in the Shenandoah last year we kept on crossing it so I reckon I've completed around 0.003%. There are some long-distance trails in Britain and on the continent (especially the old pilgrimage routes) which I've thought about.
