I also have fibromyalgia and appreciate so much reading everyone's responses! I plan to walk next September...a little fearful but a LOT excited! Thanks, everyone!

A few dangerous stretches??? What are they? I have an irrational fear of heights. If there are any 'cliffside' moments on the walk, please advise as I become immobilized, extremely panicky, a danger to others. If I know what to expect I'll arrange transportation to avoid those spots. Thank you!
