Hello,
I plan on hiking the Pennine Way in the UK – it’s a 270-mile hike up the backbone of England. I am looking for any advice you can offer regarding equipment/anything else you think I´ll need.
The problem is I live in Brazil and have never hiked before.
From info gathered over the net, I can see the terrain is harsh and will most probably be raining for the duration. Slate paths and marshland/bogs. It can also get foggy and wondering off track is par for the course.
It will take 17 days, averaging 15 miles a day with one day off for rest. There is a luggage transport service that will take my case or whatever to the next bed and breakfast so I won’t be carrying all that much. ( or will I?)
I have posted on other forums asking people but the responses are a bit vague – you guys seem to be much more specific/experienced ALSO I will be stopping off in Miami for a week before going over and can BUY a lot of stuff in the US –
At the moment I have nothing purchased and am open-minded to your suggestions.

Your thoughts on equipment from the feet up?
