First time boarding this season and probably my last natural dose of vitamin d for a month. Great to be back in ‘crapland’ for my third winter. @jerppa18

First blog post written as I reflect on such an epic journey (link in bio). This one covers northern Washington, snow crossings and the decision of when to start.

Home time! After a few relaxing days in Santa Barbara, it’s time to switch the California sunshine for the London drizzle.

We walked from Canada to Mexico! 2650 miles in exactly 4 months. We faced insane bugs, relentless heat, river crossings, smoke from fires, 30 mile water carries, high altitude, the desert and the weight of 8 days of food. We saw bears, tarantulas, a mountain lion and were rattled and hissed at by rattlesnakes. By the end, we hiked before sunrise, got to camp after dark and my body and feet made me feel like an old man. But for 4 months we got to live our values - treading lightly on the planet, close to nature and living simply. We had new horizons every day, beautiful sunsets and starry nights. We got to be part of an amazing community of people walking south on the trail and saw the kindness of humanity through people that gave us rides, trail magic or put us up in their homes. PCT 2018, thanks for the memories.

We’re in Julian! Three days and 77 miles to go to the border. Not as wild as our usual camp spots - cowboy camping outside the deli! We’re in the famous pie shop at the moment eating our free pie for doing this crazy hike. Can’t believe this adventure is nearly over.

As the nights draw in we’ve been night hiking most days. Usually we get up at 5.15am, start at 6am and are still hiking by 7pm. Sometimes it’s annoying but sometimes it’s beautiful, like seeing this moon rise as we walked along the lake.

Quite a few things could hurt us in the desert. Cactus are easy to avoid, sometimes a few ninja moves are required to get around poison oak and poodle dog bush.

Mt Baden-Powell. The desert section isn’t very flat. But we do only have one huge climb left and then it’s rolling all the way to the border

One of the best things about the hiking in Southern California is the sunrises and sunsets. Amazing ones like this nearly every day.

The desert would be so much harder without water cache’s left by local ‘trail angels’. We still have sections around 25 miles with no water, but it’s better than 40! It means we need to carefully plan each day more than before.

With the high Sierra done, we move into Southern California and the Mojave desert. Just a desert between us and Mexico!

Forester Pass, the highest point on the PCT at 4000m. We made it over before the first snow of the season hit. But only just, it snowed for the rest of the day and we had to de-ice the tent in -6 degree weather the following morning. If only it was all downhill from here to Mexico…

Soaking our feet on lunch before heading up to another 12000ft Pass. My feet are swollen now, they seem to be a size bigger and I feel like an old man taking those first few steps in the morning!

The high Sierra was easily my favourite section of trail, through Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. It was tough to get 25 miles in each day but we managed it. On the section before I didn’t have enough food. This section was my biggest ever food carry at 8 days and I packed around 4500 calories for every day to fuel me through.

Mammoth Lakes, CA. Thank you @michellefaucheux for your kindness. Our break in Mammoth Lakes was amazing. She even arranged for a mama bear and two cubs to wander round the lake pictured while we were there

New Shuamta Nunnery, Georgia. There is a unique form of orthodox Christianity in Georgia that requires all the ladies to wear headscarves when we visit the religious sites around the country.

Davit Gareja, Georgia. A small monastery carved into the rocks in the semi-arid desert right on the border with Azerbaijan. We hiked up to the top of the ridge and had lunch between the Georgian and Azerbaijani soldiers while their governments dispute who owns the ridge

Tbilisi, Georgia. It’s not quite Europe and not quite Asia. It’s in the middle, both physically and culturally. And it seems happy that way. Photos of the Mtkvari river, view from hotel and sulphur baths.
