I am planning on doing the BMT in November rather than my original plan of the Ouachita Trail. I ended up with more time off because of cancelled trips so the BMT works out as a better option this year. I am trying to set a loose plan for mileage as I am considering:
Doing no resupply NOBO, having a local friend drop off my SOBO resupply(if I yo-yo)
A yo-yo of the trail with minimal resupply
What kind of mileage should I realistically expect? AT/Pinhoti runs anywhere from 20 - high 30 mpd when I go out. I am considering trying to push 40mpd(a 7 day thru) but I don't want to pack light on food and end up short in the Smokies.
