    Did it take a long time to get home? For me, that's the worst part of finishing a hike, the time it takes to back to where I live. I'm not keen these days about how long it takes to get to the beginning of a hike either. These days as an older hiker I've started to walk from airport to airport. I recently hiked from Geneva Airport to Lyon Airport, next spring my plan is to hike from Bordeaux to Toulouse Airport. All the very best to you.

  • @LionessHiker
    @LionessHiker 18 дней назад

    I just found your channel and I love it! Since your are on the CDT, I will start there. But I had to check out your recommendations here. I would have to say regarding preparation and fitness that if someone is twenty to thirty and maybe forty something and not obese they will become fit as they hike as you suggest. However, if a person is fifty or older or excessively overweight that they are likely to become injured early in their hike before developing their trail legs. As for long distance trails in the USA, most hikers start with the Appalachian Trail. The statistics bare the truth as only one of four individuals finish their hike. Most list illness or injury as their reasons for stopping. Often they start out with packs that are extremely heavy. I suggest that only prepping by hiking several overnight trails, doing 50 to 200 miles, is going to help a person know if they are fit enough or not.

    • @uptothehills2053
      @uptothehills2053 12 дней назад

      That is very helpful. It is true that getting fit on trail does require potentially doing low miles to start with and some long trails with a weather window don’t always allow for that as an option. So building up miles before would be helpful. Glad you found the channel. I hope you enjoy following along.
