The most amazing thread on here, would love to do similar things. Just a shame it takes so long, pretty much means giving up your job.

And great song to the video.

Incredible, something I've always fancied doing!

.../wonders how feasible it would be to add mountain bike tyres to wheelchair...

Not seen the video yet but first thread I think I've properly rated 5 stars. Good stuff is an understatement.

Fantastic - I did the exact trip but in a camper van last summer with my 2 best friends. We went from Canada to Mexico though. An Unforgettable experience. I can only begin to imagine what it would have entailed on foot, awe inspiring. Props.

An inspiring journey. Can I ask, did you get some nooky or were you always "too tired"...

You don't have to do it in one go.Of course it wont be the same experience but most people do these hikes in stages. You could do it in 1 month sections, or even 2 weeks a years combined with a week or 2 relaxing on holiday elsewhere in the US. The difficulty here is it then becomes lifetime mission.

There are also shorter sections that make great 7-10 hikes. John Muir Trail is spectacular.

As D.P. said, there are plenty of shorter hikes that would put you in amazing places, or the longer ones can be section hiked. The John Muir Trail is one of the most famous and takes about 2 weeks, over the high Sierras. The PCT actually uses the JMT through the Sierras, so it would cover some of the trail I did. Closer to home there are a number of European 'E' routes, The Cape Wrath Trail, Pennine Way etc etc. As for section hiking, last year there was a guy who finished the PCT, who had been hiking it for over 20 years, one section at a time!

An inspiring journey. Can I ask, did you get some nooky or were you always "too tired"...

Happily married thanks, and the Mrs came with me. And no, we sometimes had energy left.

Thanks,
Just seem to lose something when split up. Got a few of the 100m uk trails planned in the coming months.

Just had a look at the the cape wraith trial and that looks awesome.
