There are a few things to warn you about if you plan on using this as a daily guide. Please consider all of the below, as well as continuously use your common sense. There is a thing called Continuation Bias, which is when you proceed with the original plan even if it is no longer the best one. This can be exacerbated when you are stressed/tired/scared, and even working with someone you don't fully trust!
- In the daily guides, water and food markers like start/middle/end are not very exact indicators. Start may not be where you sleep, but it would be relatively close to the start of that day. A campsite might be a few miles from town, etc. Or middle might be 3/4 of the way in.
- Please please please be aware that the route and services along the route are likely to change yearly, monthly, and even daily. Ensure that you are using up to date information.
- The daily reports have both a RWGPS map as well as a Strava. The reason we included the RWGPS is so that you can easily see photos of the route where they were actually taken! Curious if a section is overgrown? Check if we have any photos from that section. It has a really cool elevation map that allows you to mouse over and see the position on the map. We included the Straca because it has a photo slideshow feature which means my website doesn't have to store and load hundreds of pictures! This means you can quickly look through the photos if you don't care about the more in depth stats.
- Some parts of the website are slightly nicer on a computer, but it should still work perfectly on the phone.
- Just a heads up, in google docs the sum of the daily write ups is 99 pages single spaced.
