Quoted By:
I want to walk across Europe. Proper all the way.
I have, however, a grand total of no hiking experience outside the occasional walking the dogs.
Ideally I want to leave with just the clothes on my back, but I want it to be a little realistic. All beginner guides recommend lots of useful things and a stuffed pack but I want to bring the bare minimum, or as little as possible.
Basic advice / recommendations / words of caution?
