Cheers guys! The biggest thing I'm ancipating is the mental challenge, and as far as I'm concerned I'm going to walk the track, and not coming back till its done.

I've been a scout for over 13 years, and have been on plenty of hikes throughout that time – I've done the one mentioned in Powell town, but not for a number or years so carrying a pack doesn't bother me. The main thing I'm working on is cardio / I've been walking/running/tap dancing (nerdy I know) for a few years, so legs aren't an issue. Just gonna nut it out one step at a time. Off to work now, but have been loving reading all the info on the site.
