seeing as my savings for costa rica is going so well, i thought it might be an idea to start saving up some kind of AT fund. looking around, most people seem to be saying about 3000-5000 dollars, which is about £2500 to £3000 roughly.
i’d rather not section-hike, if only out of convenience and expense. living in the uk, it’s not exactly ideal to jet in and out of america to walk a few days around a forest.
also, with thru-hiking, just imagine stopping at the end after months of walking towards the finish. it would be amazing.
so anyway, time to start saving. kit won’t really be an issue, i’ll have a lot of stuff from costa rica and other treks. just need to get it all together. i won’t be going for a good few years yet, but i might as well get started.

But…I’m under 18 and so I’d have to find a buddy, and grow a bit older. It would be so amazing.
