Walking Land's End to John o' Groats

This website offers practical advice for anyone considering walking the length of Great Britain, based on my experience of planning and completing two long-distance crossings — Land’s End to John o’ Groats in 2025 and Lizard Point to Cape Wrath in 2026. It covers route planning, equipment, food, accommodation and logistics, while also exploring the experience of walking through Britain’s diverse landscapes at a slower pace.

Planning and Advice

Land's End to John o' Groats

09/04/25 – 08/07/25

1,200 miles (1,900km) completed in 13 weeks, with 77 walking days and 11 rest days, averaging 15.4 miles (24.7km) per walking day. Total cost: £3,100.

Lizard Point to Cape Wrath

07/04/26 – 20/07/26

1,400 miles (2,200km) completed in 15 weeks, with 86 walking days and 15 rest days, averaging 15.9 miles (25.5km) per walking day. Total cost: £4,060.

Walking the length of Britain is a journey across an ever-changing landscape, from the coastal paths and rolling countryside of southern England, through the moors, valleys and uplands that form the backbone of the country, to the mountains and vast open spaces of the Scottish Highlands. Beyond the physical challenge, it is an opportunity to experience Britain at a slower pace, passing through places that are often missed when travelling by road or rail. Walking allows you to notice the smaller details along the way — the changing scenery, rural villages, local communities and subtle differences between regions — and develop a greater appreciation for the variety of landscapes, communities and ways of life across Britain.

The experience is shaped not only by the places you pass through, but also by the rhythm of life that develops over a journey of this length. Each day revolves around simple priorities: walking, finding food, reaching your destination and responding to whatever the weather brings. Conditions that would normally be a minor inconvenience become a central part of the experience, influencing your decisions and creating a different experience from one day to the next. Along the way, the people you meet — from brief conversations with strangers to the occasional deeper connection — often become some of the most memorable parts of the journey. Despite the challenges, there is a simplicity to life on the trail: adapting to what the day brings and steadily making your way across the country.

Having walked the length of Britain twice, I cannot recommend the experience highly enough to anyone looking for a genuine adventure and a different way of experiencing life. The physical challenge is only one part of what makes these journeys so rewarding. Long-distance walking allows you to experience the country in a uniquely direct way: moving through remote landscapes, open countryside and dramatic viewpoints at the pace of your own footsteps, with fresh air, changing weather and the satisfaction of physical effort becoming part of everyday life. Each day has a clear purpose, your decisions are shaped by the environment around you, and your attention is focused on the practical realities of moving through the country.

Although I completed both journeys alone, the experience was far from isolated. The nature of long-distance walking creates opportunities for connection that are often missing from everyday life, whether through brief conversations with strangers or longer friendships formed along the way. Living with fewer distractions, constant movement and a clear sense of purpose creates a perspective that is difficult to replicate in normal life.

Before you begin

Have a solid base level of fitness – The challenge is not any single day, but maintaining steady progress over weeks on end. You do not need to be exceptionally athletic, but you should be comfortable walking long distances with a backpack before setting off. Completing a shorter through-hike beforehand, such as the Pennine Way, is an excellent way to understand the demands of long-distance walking, discover what daily distances feel sustainable, and refine your equipment and routines. Good preparation will make the experience far more enjoyable and reduce the risk of injury or exhaustion along the way.
Allow enough time – the timeframe required depends heavily on the route you choose. A longer, more scenic route incorporating established trails and places of interest can add significant distance and complexity compared with a more direct approach. As a general benchmark, 12–15 weeks is realistic for a walk of this length. Around 12 weeks is the shortest I would recommend, as it leaves limited flexibility, while 14–15 weeks allows a more relaxed pace with rest days, exploration and unexpected delays built in. If you have less time available, I would suggest shortening the route rather than increasing daily distances and reducing flexibility.

BEFORE THE WALK

Creating the initial route plan

Creating the initial route requires a combination of mapping software and navigation tools, each serving a different purpose. OS Maps is used to design the route itself, Google My Maps to visualise the full journey, Google Maps to identify accommodation and services, and a dedicated GPS unit for reliable navigation on the trail.

There are several alternative navigation apps available, including Komoot, AllTrails, Outdooractive and Gaia GPS. However, for walking in the UK, Ordnance Survey remains the reference standard due to the level of detail it provides for footpaths, rights of way, terrain and mountain environments.

The tools I used

Desktop computer – Used for planning and managing routes, including importing GPX files (not possible on mobile).
OS Maps – Used to plan routes on desktop and access mapping on mobile, with a Premium subscription for full mapping and GPX export.
Google My Maps – Used to organise and visualise the overall route by importing GPX files.
Google Maps – Used to identify and save accommodation options and locate services during the walk.
TwoNav Link – Used to transfer routes between devices.
GPS unit (TwoNav Cross Plus) – Used for reliable navigation along pre-planned routes.
Mobile phone – Used for day-to-day logistics, including finding shops and services.

Together, these tools form a simple workflow: creating the overall route, refining it into manageable sections, and then preparing the daily routes and navigation files needed for the walk.

OS Maps – creating the overall route

Begin by designing your overall route in OS Maps. Break the route into manageable sections and export these as GPX files. The length of each section should reflect your pace and planning style.

In my case, I worked in roughly 100-mile sections. OS Maps begins to slow down with longer routes, and this distance also aligned with about a week of travel, making it easier to estimate overall duration while creating a sense of progression.

Planning philosophy

Treat your initial route as a guide, not a fixed itinerary. Avoid incorporating specific accommodation at this stage, as this quickly becomes restrictive and time-consuming. Focus instead on creating the best possible route based on scenery, established footpaths, rights of way and places you want to experience . The exact route will evolve once the walk begins.

Google My Maps – visualising the journey

Import your GPX files into Google My Maps and combine them into a single layer. This creates a clear visual overview of the entire journey and acts as a central reference point for planning.

Google Maps – researching accommodation

Use your route in Google Maps to identify and save accommodation options such as campsites, hostels and hotels.

Open Google Maps, go to Saved → Maps, and select your custom map. This works particularly well on mobile, where the route remains visible while searching nearby options, making it easier to judge proximity.

OS Maps – creating daily routes

Once accommodation options are identified, create detailed routes for the first few days of your walk. Around 4–5 days is a practical starting point, providing structure while allowing flexibility.

Export these daily routes as GPX files ready for navigation.

TwoNav Link – transferring routes to your GPS unit

Transfer the GPX files for your initial days onto your GPS unit. These should be daily routes, not the larger planning sections.

Estimating how long the walk will take

Before choosing a start date, you first need a rough estimate of how long the entire walk will take. This comes from two things: the total distance of your route, and a realistic understanding of how quickly you can cover that distance over a sustained period.

Once you have plotted your route and know the overall distance, you can bring in your own experience to estimate a daily distance you’re confident maintaining day after day. This is not your maximum on a good day, but a consistent, repeatable baseline based on walking with a fully loaded rucksack. It reflects how fast you naturally walk and how many hours you’re prepared to spend walking each day, which in turn determines when you need to set off and when you’re likely to arrive. It should feel sustainable — not something that leaves you exhausted after a few consecutive days.

For me, this was around 14 miles per walking day while carrying approximately 12kg. I arrived at this figure through previous long-distance walks, including the Pennine Way and Coast to Coast. While I was often able to walk further without issue, 14 miles was a distance I felt confident maintaining consistently. When estimating your own walk, it is far better to be conservative than optimistic.

You can then estimate the overall duration of your walk by dividing the total distance by this figure. My initial LEJOG route plan came to 1,208 miles:

1,208 miles ÷ 14 miles per day = 86 walking days

To allow for recovery, add approximately one rest day per week. This is the balance I chose for my own walk, but it is only a planning estimate. Recovery does not only come from complete days off — some shorter walking days naturally act as “half rest days”, allowing you to explore a place, resupply, do laundry, or simply reduce the physical demand while still making progress.

86 walking days + 12 rest days = 98 days

My final route ended up slightly shorter at 1,188 miles compared to the initial estimate of 1,208 miles — a negligible difference over a journey of this scale. The calculation above estimated 98 days for the route itself, and my full expedition took 91 days in total: 77 walking days, 11 rest days, and 3 days spent travelling to and from the start and finish points. The reason I finished slightly earlier than this estimate is reflected in my actual average walking distance: 15.4 miles per walking day compared to the 14 miles I used for planning. This demonstrates why using a conservative figure is valuable — the estimate provided breathing space, while allowing me to naturally finish ahead of schedule rather than relying on maintaining a more ambitious pace from the outset.

Allowing some extra time gives you room to deal with unexpected delays, poor weather, fatigue or opportunities that arise along the way. It is far better to finish earlier than planned than to reach the final stages of a walk under pressure, rushing the end or even having to shorten the journey.

More importantly, I would strongly advise against treating the walk as a race. A journey of this length is not valuable simply because you reach the finish line; the real reward comes from the experience created along the way. The rhythm of daily walking, adapting to the weather and circumstances, passing through different communities and living with fewer distractions are all part of what makes the journey meaningful. Building enough time into your plan gives you the freedom to slow down, adapt and fully experience the walk as a whole, rather than feeling as though you are simply working towards the next milestone.

Choosing when to start

For many people, the timing of a long-distance walk will initially be shaped by practical considerations such as work, finances or other commitments. However, if you have flexibility over your start date, it is worth considering how much this choice will influence the experience. On a journey lasting several months, conditions will change as the year progresses, meaning the date you begin can have a significant impact on the weather, daylight hours and temperatures you encounter.

The first consideration is how long your walk is likely to last. The longer the journey, the more important your start date becomes, as you will move through different points of the year. This determines not only the range of conditions you are likely to face, but also whether they improve or deteriorate as the journey progresses.

The direction you travel is another important factor, affecting when you reach particular sections of the route and therefore the conditions you experience in those areas. This can influence when you tackle more remote or physically demanding sections, the amount of daylight available, and factors such as prevailing winds and typical weather patterns.

These two decisions are closely linked. Your start date determines the general progression of the year during your walk, while your direction determines where you are within that progression. Together, they influence how strongly you experience changes in daylight, temperature and weather.

This guide focuses on spring and summer start dates. These seasons offer longer daylight hours, milder temperatures and more settled conditions, making a long-distance walk more comfortable and manageable. They also allow for lighter equipment, as less insulation and fewer layers are typically required.

Walking in autumn or winter introduces additional challenges, including shorter days, colder temperatures and more demanding conditions. While these can be rewarding, they require a higher level of preparation and experience, and fall outside the scope of this guide.

Typical timing patterns

Spring start (northbound):

Conditions gradually improve as the journey progresses
Increasing daylight supports longer, more flexible days, with the effect becoming more noticeable as you move further north towards midsummer
Northern and more exposed sections are reached in better conditions, while you are also more physically and mentally prepared for the increased challenge
Early stages can still bring cold evenings, wet ground and unsettled weather

Spring start (southbound):

Early stages are likely to involve colder, wetter and more unsettled conditions in the Scottish Highlands, where spring arrives later than further south
Conditions improve as you progress south into milder regions
Later stages coincide with warmer temperatures, busier routes and the possibility of heatwaves
The contrast between the start and finish is more noticeable than on a northbound route

Summer start (northbound):

Early stages benefit from long daylight hours, warm temperatures and generally settled conditions
Southern sections may be busy, with a higher chance of heatwaves during the peak summer months
Later stages can involve shortening days, cooler temperatures and more unsettled weather as summer gives way to autumn
Northern sections are reached as conditions begin to decline, with the possibility of finishing in autumn

Summer start (southbound):

Early stages benefit from long daylight hours and the best conditions of the year in the Scottish Highlands
Starting in the north reduces exposure to the most oppressive summer heat, while moving south allows you to follow milder conditions that last later into the year
Although daylight hours gradually shorten as the season progresses, moving south helps offset this with generally warmer temperatures and less severe weather changes
Later stages will involve shorter days and the possibility of autumn weather

For my own walks, I chose to start in early spring and travel north, beginning both journeys within the first two weeks of April. This timing suited me because it allowed me to move away from the risk of summer heatwaves in southern England while progressing towards longer evenings and more reliable conditions in the Scottish Highlands later in the year. By the time I reached the more remote northern sections, I was also fully adapted to the physical and practical demands of long-distance walking, making the combination of improving conditions and greater experience a significant advantage.

Based on my experience, a spring start travelling north would be my preferred option for walking the length of Britain. A summer start travelling south would be my second choice, as it allows you to begin in the Scottish Highlands during the best part of the year and then move south into areas where warmer and more settled conditions tend to last later into the season. This helps offset the gradual shortening of daylight hours and transition towards autumn compared with travelling north at the same time of year.

Equipment and gear

The equipment you carry has a direct impact on your experience of a long-distance walk. Every item has a trade-off between comfort, reliability and weight, and the aim is not to carry everything you might need, but to find the right balance for the conditions you are likely to encounter. On a journey of this length, small decisions about what to bring quickly accumulate, and the difference between a considered pack and an overfilled one becomes increasingly noticeable over time.

Keeping your pack as light as possible is one of the most effective ways to make the walk more enjoyable. Weight is not just a number on a scale — it is something you carry for thousands of miles, day after day. A lighter pack reduces fatigue, makes climbs and long days more manageable, and helps prevent the low-level joint and muscle problems that can gradually wear you down. Many experienced walkers are comfortable carrying more weight than they need; over this distance, that extra weight rarely feels justified.

In most parts of Britain, you are never far from shops, accommodation or transport links. This makes it possible to carry less, knowing that essential items can be replaced or bought along the way if needed. It also removes much of the need to plan for every possible scenario in advance. Carrying items “just in case” often means accepting their weight for weeks without ever using them.

Learning what you can do without is an important part of preparing for a walk of this scale. The aim should be to begin with a carefully considered pack, rather than relying on the ability to remove items later. However, your understanding of what is genuinely necessary will often develop through experience. An item that seems essential before setting off may prove unnecessary after several weeks on the trail, while seasonal changes may mean that some equipment is only needed for part of the journey. Being willing to adapt your kit as you progress is an important part of keeping your pack practical and efficient.

For a spring and summer journey, conditions are unlikely to be dangerously cold, even at night. This allows you to prioritise lighter equipment and avoid packing for worst-case scenarios that are unlikely to occur. While reliable waterproofs and a warm layer remain important, there is rarely a need for heavy or specialist equipment. In most cases, comfort and consistency come from carrying less, rather than carrying more.

My equipment choices

The equipment I carried evolved through experience on multiple long-distance walks. Rather than aiming for the lightest possible setup, I focused on finding a balance between weight, reliability and comfort that would remain practical over several months of walking.

For a full breakdown of my equipment, including item weights, quantities and notes explaining specific choices, see my detailed equipment spreadsheet below.

DURING THE WALK

Navigation and route management

Once the walk begins, planning shifts from designing the overall route to managing it day by day. Instead of following a fixed itinerary, you are continuously reviewing and extending the route ahead.

In practice, this is usually done in the evenings. After finishing the day’s walk and settling into accommodation, I would use my phone to review and extend the planned route ahead: checking Google Maps for suitable accommodation options, choosing where I wanted to stay, and then creating the detailed routes in OS Maps.

I generally aimed to keep around 3–4 days of walking planned ahead, although this varied depending on the section of the route, my confidence, and how much information I had available. Sometimes I would plan an entire week in advance, while at other times I would simply add another day or two as I progressed.

Each day’s route would then be saved and transferred to my GPS unit. I used a clear and consistent naming format, for example: “LEJOG D1 Land’s End - Pendeen”, which made it easy to identify the correct route on the device at a glance.

In the evening, I would also update the route files in OS Maps to reflect the path I had actually walked, particularly if I had deviated from the original plan. Over time, this meant that each day’s route became an accurate record of the journey. Once the walk was complete, these individual files were combined to produce a complete overall route, in much the same way as the initial route plan.

I preferred this approach to recording my route continuously throughout the walk. It reduced battery usage on the GPS unit and avoided the small, jittery deviations that naturally occur while walking — short detours, stops, or wandering around a town — which do not add anything meaningful to the overall route but can make a recorded track unnecessarily cluttered.

The interactive route maps for both walks, including the accommodation and shops I used along the way, are available here:

Land's End to John o' Groats — Interactive route map

Lizard Point to Cape Wrath — Interactive route map

Each map also includes the initial route plan, allowing you to compare the route I originally designed with the route I actually walked and see where adjustments were made during the journey.

Choosing accommodation

Long-distance walking often involves using a mixture of accommodation types, depending on availability, location, cost and personal preference. During my walks, I used a combination of wild camping, campsites, bothies, hostels and hotels (including guest houses, B&Bs and homestays). Campsites were by far my preferred option. They typically cost £10–£20 per night, almost always provided the facilities I needed after a long day of walking, and gave me the chance to meet and chat with other people — something that became one of the highlights of the journey.

Managing clothes and equipment

I would always wash my clothes by hand in a sink using a bar of soap, whether camping or staying indoors. Drying was usually the greater challenge, with clothes hung from my tent, nearby trees or attached to my backpack while walking. Campsites and hostels often provided the most practical facilities for wet equipment, while hotels were mainly valuable for rest and recovery rather than laundry.

Contacting campsites

A small but worthwhile habit is to always clarify your situation when contacting campsites. Explain that you are a backpacker travelling on foot, with a single small tent and no vehicle or electric hook-up. Many campsites have different rates depending on whether you are arriving by car, campervan or on foot, and the backpacker rate is often considerably cheaper. I would also ask whether I needed to pre-book or whether I could simply turn up later in the day, usually giving an approximate arrival time. Many campsites are happy to accommodate backpackers on this basis, and knowing this in advance provides another level of flexibility. It allows you to adjust your plans during the day — perhaps walking further, stopping earlier, or taking an unexpected opportunity — without worrying about losing money on a pre-paid booking.

Using wild camping as flexibility

If you are comfortable with it, or open to trying it, wild camping can provide a very useful fallback when accommodation options don’t quite line up with your route. There will inevitably be times when campsites, hostels or B&Bs are either unavailable or too far from your intended path to be practical. In these situations, having the option to camp discreetly gives you a reliable “plan B”, allowing you to continue walking without significantly altering your route or committing to an unrealistic day. Even if used only occasionally, this flexibility makes the overall planning process feel much less constrained.

Using bothies

Bothies can be a great accommodation option, particularly in Scotland, but they are less predictable than booked accommodation. During weekends or periods of good weather, other walkers may arrive before you and the bothy may already be occupied. However, this does not necessarily mean missing out on the experience — the bothy can still provide shelter, a place to cook, eat and chat with other walkers before continuing to a nearby wild camping spot for the night.

Food and resupply

My approach to food was based around keeping my backpack as light as possible. I chose not to carry any cooking equipment, as a stove, fuel, pan and other accessories add weight and take up valuable space. For this style of long-distance walking, I found a cooking system unnecessary, as I could rely on the many opportunities to buy food along the route.

Across much of Britain and the more populated areas of Scotland, I planned food resupply directly into my daily routes. While creating routes in OS Maps, I would regularly switch between OS Maps and Google Maps to identify supermarkets, village stores, petrol station shops and other facilities along or close to my route. I would then adjust the route to pass these locations where practical. However, the plan was never fixed; if I passed a suitable shop during the day, I would often take advantage of it and adjust my food plans accordingly.

My typical routine was to buy food as close as possible to the beginning of the day’s walk, sometimes requiring an initial walk of up to three hours to reach a shop for breakfast. I would buy enough to eat immediately, reducing the amount I needed to carry. Later in the day, I would usually stop at another shop to buy food for the remainder of the day and, where necessary, the following morning if the next opportunity was a significant distance away.

I always carried a small emergency supply, usually something nutrient-dense and durable such as a tin of mackerel. Otherwise, I relied on regular resupply rather than carrying large quantities of food. This approach kept my backpack lighter and allowed food to become part of the route planning process rather than a restriction on it.

Food strategy in Scotland

Once north of Edinburgh and Glasgow, the strategy changed. The distances between shops and services became significantly greater, particularly in the Highlands, and resupply points needed to be identified and checked carefully in advance. Rather than relying on frequent opportunities to buy food spontaneously, I sometimes needed to carry considerably more supplies, with the longest periods requiring around two and a half days of food.

The principle remained the same — carry what you need, but avoid carrying more than necessary — but the practical application changed with the environment. In remote sections, understanding where your next reliable resupply point was located became an essential part of planning each stage of the journey.

Budgeting and costs

The total cost of walking the length of Britain will vary depending on your route, duration and accommodation choices, but it is often lower than people expect.

For my two walks:

Land’s End to John o’ Groats (2025)
91 days total (13 weeks)
Total cost: £3,096
Average: £31 per day

Lizard Point to Cape Wrath (2026)
105 days total (15 weeks)
Total cost: £4,058
Average: £37 per day

These figures include everything from setting off to returning home: accommodation, food, transport costs associated with the journey and small replacement items. They do not include the cost of the clothing and equipment I set off with.

Keeping a record of costs

Throughout both walks, I kept a daily record of my spending, accommodation, distances walked and general notes from each day using the ColorNote app. At the end of each week, I calculated my total spending to see how I was tracking against my overall budget. This helped me understand when I had room to spend more on comfort and when I needed to be more careful with costs. In those situations, I could naturally lean towards lower-cost options such as wild camping.

For a full day-by-day breakdown of costs from both walks, see the spreadsheets below.

Lizard Point to Cape Wrath — Detailed cost breakdown

Where the money goes

The largest cost by far is accommodation.

Across both walks:

Accommodation ranged from campsites (~£10–£16) to hostels (~£20–£35) and hotels (~£40–£70+)
Food and day-to-day spending remained very consistent at around £14–£18 per day

This means your overall budget is largely determined by how you choose to sleep.

Carrying a tent makes a significant difference. Campsites were my default accommodation, typically costing around £10–£16 per night, while wild camping and bothies reduced costs further. Hostels and hotels were occasional choices for recovery, poor weather, or when passing through towns and cities.

If you rely mainly on hostels and hotels, the total cost can easily double. I met one walker who had pre-booked hotel accommodation throughout the journey and expected to spend around £10,000.

Keeping costs under control

I approached the walk with a simple daily framework:

Around £15 per day for food
Around £15 per night for accommodation (based around campsites as the default option)

In practice, this proved to be a reliable baseline. Having this figure in mind helped keep campsites as my primary accommodation choice, creating a natural reluctance to choose more expensive alternatives unless there was a good reason. By keeping most days relatively low-cost, it allowed for occasional higher spending when needed without losing control of the overall budget.

A few principles made the biggest difference:

Eat primarily from supermarkets
Supermarkets provide a wide range of affordable, nutritious and practical food options for long-distance walkers. Eating cheaply does not mean eating poorly, and with a little thought it is possible to eat well while keeping costs low. I rarely used restaurants or takeaways, but keeping everyday food spending under control meant I could relax and enjoy occasional treats, particularly during rest days.
Use campsites as your default option
They offer a reliable balance of cost, facilities and convenience. When the weather and location allow, wild camping will reduce costs further and is worth embracing as part of the experience, while also giving you greater flexibility.
Spend more when it matters
Pay for comfort when you genuinely need it — terrible weather, exhaustion or recovery days. But don’t overuse it. Challenge yourself to embrace some discomfort; nights spent camping, wild camping or in bothies are often some of the most memorable parts of the journey.

In many ways, you’re not just budgeting money on a walk like this — you’re budgeting comfort, and how you choose to spend that will shape the experience as much as the route itself.

Finding the right balance

While it is possible to complete the walk on a shoestring, I would not recommend treating it as an exercise in minimising cost at all times. There will be periods when you feel exhausted, fed up or emotionally drained, and those are often the moments when a little extra comfort can make the biggest difference. A warm room, a proper rest or simply the chance to reset can help you continue enjoying the journey rather than just enduring it.

Being consistently aware of your spending does require some restraint, but it creates freedom in other ways. By keeping everyday costs low, you can occasionally choose comfort, treat yourself or spend more generously without worrying that you are losing control of the overall budget.

At the same time, there is a balance between challenging yourself and allowing some comfort. A night spent camping in difficult conditions can be incredibly rewarding, but so can a warm, dry room when you genuinely need to rest and recover. The goal is not simply to reduce costs, but to manage them in a way that supports the journey. A willingness to accept some discomfort and step outside your comfort zone can significantly reduce costs while often adding to the experience itself.

Ultimately, the walk is both a challenge and a holiday, and finding the right balance is part of making the most of it.

Adapting the plan on the go

The initial planned route provides direction, but the route you actually walk will almost always differ in some way. Long-distance walking involves constantly balancing your original intentions with the realities on the ground: weather conditions, your energy levels, terrain, accommodation availability and opportunities that appear along the way. A good route plan should provide confidence and structure, while still leaving enough freedom to make better decisions when circumstances change.

These changes should not be viewed as mistakes or failures of planning. A long-distance walk is a constantly evolving journey, and some of the most memorable experiences often come from being willing to adjust your plans. Whether that means taking a more scenic alternative, shortening a day because of fatigue, or staying somewhere unexpected, the ability to adapt is what allows you to get the most from the experience. The purpose of planning is not to remove uncertainty, but to give you the confidence to respond to it and make the most of whatever the journey brings.
