What to do next?

I often find myself wondering where next eh! A mate has just headed to Australia with his missus and its left me pondering again! Urgh. Would be an awesome thing to do, take a year out, work for BMW, Holden, whatever, maybe just work in a bar eh? Why not. Think the next random weekend away is due to be Copenhagen in the early Summer, alas, with Glastonbury, Reading and Download festivals this year, it doesn't leave much time to have weekend parties! But a hell of a summer it certainly shall be.

Been a while since my Inca trail trip, the photo's are making me reminisce a little. I fancy doing the Aztec trail, see the fruit of all the Myan's, but it just feels as though it may be too much like Peru, so i need something different. I've come accross an American trail, called the Appalachian trail, takes around 5million footsteps to complete, 2,175-miles. Takes a couple of months, sleep under canvas or in the shelters. Looks pretty cool, be hard to take 3 months out of work at the moment, but its certainly something i'm going to look into i believe.

HIGHLIGHTS: The Appalachian Trail is a 2164 mile footpath that runs along the Appalachian Mountains from Maine to Georgia. The trail's northern terminus is in Central Maine in Baxter State Park at Mt. Katahdin. The southern terminus is in North Georgia in the Chattahooche National Forest at Springer Mountain. The Appalachian Trail (or AT as it is often called) crosses 14 states, 8 national forests, 6 units of the national park system, and 60 state park, forest, or game lands. It was the first footpath to be designated by Congress as a National Scenic Trail in 1968. It is now federally protected under the administrative jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of the Interior, but is primarily maintained and managed by the Appalachian Trail Conference. The ATC is a private and nonprofit organization which was formed on March 3, 1925 by Benton MacKaye and a small group of private citizens and public leaders. Their mission is to coordinate the numerous federal, state, and local agencies to manage the A.T. and its adjacent lands.

Other than having to put up with all the yanks, i reckon i'm good for this! hehe
