EDIT * Still thinking about doing it but because i have no friends

dose any one mind keeping an eye out for me and giving a few pointer if i do go??? *
Have decided not to go. i dont think i can be organised in time and i dont think i could do the distance required. but good luck to all the crazy people who do it.
