I'm planning to walk from Lands End in Cornwall to Glastonbury.
I've never done a long walk before. I plan to just sleep in fields and under church awnings and stuff. What's the minimum equipment I need? I'm thinking just boots, bivvy bag, raincoat, and rucksack? It will be in the peak of summer so temperature probably wont be an issue. I expect it to be safe since its rural southern England. The intention is for it to be a wholesome semi-spiritual experience so I intend to avoid just walking along the big roads, I want to be in an adventure/pilgrimage in nature. Im not quite sure how to find a route that avoids the big roads, any tips on that? Google says its 166 miles but that's going direct along the A roads, I expect the realistic route will be longer.
What do I need to know before I do this considering I'm a complete beginner?
