I haven't done any proper long distance hike before but I've been reading a lot about them recently and the more I read, the more I want to do one. Luckily I've already planned to do one, the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. Will be going out in early October. It's just under 200 miles of Himalayan beauty. I mean just look at this:     As well as this I've also been reading a few blogs of people who thru-hiked the PCT and gently caress me, if the hike in Nepal goes well and I don't have any physical issues doing it then I might actually consider doing that.

When I went through Tibet for a couple weeks, it was pretty brutal in some spots and I was doing as little as possible physically for the first few days. That trip seriously has the potential to be incredible though. The Himalayas are the most incredible sight you'll ever see in person. Yeah, I've already made a rough itinerary based on other people's experiences and advice which include 3 or so zero days at higher altitudes to get properly acclimated for the day you go over Thorung La pass, which is 5,416 metres (17,769 ft). I really am looking forward to the trip, going to try and get some shorter hikes in beforehand to just get my gear dialled in and get used to walking longer distances. Probably try and spend a few days hiking in the Lake District this spring. Going to have to try and keep my equipment weight down quite a lot as well, since I'm going to want to take my dslr. I can't not go into the Himalayas without taking pictures. Those are some unbelievable pictures Picnic Princess, gently caress!
