The reality and enormity of the commitment I have made is beginning to 
dawn on me. However, any feelings of trepidation are dwarfed by those of
 excitement. I am actually beginning to look forward to the complete 
disruption of my regular routines. Three months of lone walking will 
give me plenty of time to ponder, but I expect also to meet some 
interesting people along my way. I always have on previous, albeit much 
shorter, walks. Add to this the opportunity to enjoy a rugged existence 
and experience some of the more wild and rural parts of Britain, and I 
don’t think I will find much time to be bored.
