    @garlicbread , you've now got the first part sorted, you'll be fine. Some good advice above. Two things that nobody has yet mentioned: 1/ in your phone contacts load the number 112 under police/ fire/ ambulance. That way in an emergency you...

    Just to clarify for the OP who is a first timer, there are no ‘official stages’. There are just some end-of-stage destinations that are more popular than others because they are in guides (eg Brierley, Gronze etc), have more facilities, are a...
