It isn’t just a walk
‘I've done it 15 times now. The first time I made the mistake of thinking it was ‘just a walk’. It isn’t. It’s hard, hard work. Can you manage 12 hours walking? If you’re not sure then walk a long way. Don’t worry about replicating the hills. Just test your feet can take that length of time (and take a change of socks). But the sense of achievement you will feel is amazing. And you might get addicted. Like me.’ – Richard Stott
