Dan Klaiber is our guest this week and, while he had been planning a PCT thru-hike, Covid threw a wrench in the works and he had to look elsewhere. What he came up with was an epic journey through Britain, linking many established, and several not-so-well established trails to produce his very own long-distance trail. He’s a great planner, so the logistic geeks among you will enjoy reading the document he sent me, as well as his LighterPack link at https://lighterpack.com/r/lel2lg You can check out the full detail of his hike at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PJlXtUQxh54HgubLSA31FK0F4vYKT807?usp=drive_link You can also see more pictures on his Instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/danklaiber/ When Dan reached the end of his hike, his now-fiancee had commissioned a beautiful memento that will serve as a wonderful reminder of his hike and the start of his new life with Claire. Jessica has been getting help from our listeners along the way and is now about to enter PA. Just two states to go.
