>>1464516>I know I'm asking a lot but this looks awesome!No stress, I'm at home now and back to work so there's very little going on in my life. Any chance to relive the trail is going to make me happy!
>getting to and from the trailI flew from London to Amman. Stayed a day in Amman to get myself situated and buy my first 3 days food. I then got a taxi from Amman to Um Qais where I stayed for the night. The trail ends at a touristy beach where there are a couple of dive centers/hostels etc so it was super easy to get a taxi to Aqaba. I stayed in Aqaba for a couple of days in a hostel to wait for my flight back to London and to chill out for a little.
>navigationMy main navigation was done with my smart phone and the gaia gps app. If you search for the Jordan Trail you will get to their main site where you can download the gps route. They also have some rather crappy maps and trail notes. I printed these off and carried them with me. They aren't any good for real navigation but helped with planning on the route.
>foodI tended to carry 3 days worth at a time. Resupply is easy as the trail takes you through plenty of villages and small towns where you can buy food.
>waterThis is the main issue on the trail. it's tricky. I had an easy time with it as I normally hike 25-30 miles a day so moved between the sources quickly. If you are going to hike shorter days your water plan will be more complicated. There are water drop services but they can get pricey. If you don't want to use these you could find yourself carrying a fair bit of water. You have know you hiking pace and water needs very well.
The website has enough info to get you started with a plan. desu I would suggest you look closely at the northern section and work out for yourself whether it would interest you. If I hiked it again I would start in Karak and hike south. It's a bit duanting to plan this hike as there isn't very much info out there aimed at solo hikers. But it's doable.
