I know because I started at Springer Mountain (southernmost starting point of the AT) with a pack weighing 50# when I was 55 years old. Fear is what makes our packs heavy-we try to prepare for all the eventualities and suddenly we are looking at pounds of stuff. I know it has been said many times on this site-KEEP PACK WEIGHT TO A MINIMUM. Preparation is walking with your loaded pack-if you can walk in a 10 mile stretch at least once a week and walk an hour every day, you'l be in good shape-and wear the shoes/boots and sock combination you plan to wear. Several heads are often better than one in this case. If you are going to walk in the dark, you will want some kind of illumination source (I take a tiny LED with a red light for night vision) and probably go with one or two others because it can be difficult to see the markings in the dark. So yes, it will still be dark until around 6:45 a.m. But many have done it before me so I suspect all will finally be well!Īs far as rising early, I have tracked dawn vs sunrise and the times will be changing several minutes a day by that time. For me the fear is traveling so far to a foreign country where I do not know the language (other than very basic) and navagating to the starting point all by myself. If you want your solitude during the day, you can claim that too. If you want to walk with others, you will find people. Given the large numbers of people, you will not need to worry about loneliness! We're all headed in the same direction even if we're not on the same path. I enjoy my solitude while walking but I also enjoy the fellowship that comes with settling in for the evening. As long as I carry a cell phone for emergency use, they no longer give me a hard time other than the old eye roll. My family gets hyper about this but over the years they've gotten used to the fact. I have done long distance hiking in the past (completed over half of the AT) so I have few fears about hiking alone.
