Hey everyone yesterday I got back home after completing the whole thing!
We were both so knackered!
I managed to get two massive blisters, one on each foot just 2 days in but carried on and got it done in 6 days, technicaly 7 but we don't count the first day as we got there very late and found it a struggle to find our way out of Winchester so only got a couple of hours walking in before dark.
We are gonna write up a diary of the days so peeps can see what we did
Will let you know when its done
Its been a while since I posted this question and I thank you all for your advice. The date is set now for the last week in august to do the walk and there is now 3 of us doing it.
After a little bit of research I did realise 3 days was a bit stupid and so we are going to do it in 5 days and leave a with day as a buffer just in case
We will be wild camping mostly but will hit a campsite halfway through to refresh.
Thank you for the train ticket tip and if anyone usable to give any tips on wild camping that would be great
We are a good bunch of lads who will leave nothing but footprints and start no fires so I don't think we will be any trouble to any public situations
Can't wait to start now though, I know it will be hard going but it will be an adventure!
Also thanks for mentioning water I have now found grid numbers for waterpoints as well
me and my brother in law have never done anything like this before, but we are thinking of walking the whole south downs way. we live in eastbourne so are thinking of starting in winchester and ending at eastbourne, we will be wild camping where possible and want to try and complete it in 3 days. so my question to you lot is do you think 3 days is possible? we could stretch to 4 days if need be though.
we are thinking of doing this next year around august time so we have plenty of time to prepare.
