Is this definitely going ahead? I’m debating whether to book accommodation. Is the plan to walk *all* of the way?

Hi, I have replied to your email earlier. It is definitely going ahead. Whether or not we complete the whole trail depends on how early we start walking, the group ability, how long we spend looking at sites on the way, etc etc
I'm planning to cover much of the trail in 4.5 days. Possible for stronger walkers to push on ahead. I will not be rushing as have injuries at present. There is also scope to shorten days if anyone prefers less mileage. Must be able to map read of course! šŸ˜€
