That's a walk (?run) and a half. Now I am in my 80s I might have a go at the longest able-bodied completion of the WHH, but I don't suppose any one would be impressed.

Hello....a busy six days. S-N and then N-S within these few days. 
Well I guess it is one way of avoiding the price of a train or bus ticket.
Was N-S more than just semi-winter conditions.
