Mile...Mile and a Half

Hi All,

For all of those champing at the bit - last night I caught the above named 'Documentary' type film on Amazon. If you haven't seen it, its a nice account of a group of 'Artists' hiking the JMT. The scenery, videos and photos are beautiful. It does not show you all the gory details of long distance hikes, but some of the 'stream' crossings are hairy.

For those of you who have done the TGO before - the lack of rain will make you weep. For those of you who haven't - in my experience Scotland is not like this I found it interesting that on the one day it does rain, their spirits take a dive. Whereas ours never do - do they ?

Anyway take a look, it certainly makes me want to do the JMT.

Re: Mile...Mile and a Half

I watched that documentary and it was really inspiring. So inspiring that I am doing the JMT in September.. Water will be an issue, unlike the TGO as will too much sun. And you need chuffin permits.
