Hi all,
I have some questions regarding hiking the Appalachian Trail from an International perspective.
A few years ago, while visiting my sister, I joined a group from Cornell University in a section hike in New York State. It was great fun. Now I would like to travel to the U.S.A. again in order to complete a much longer section hike on my own or with a friend.
I would probably fly from London to Washington Airport and try to hike south to a town in North Carolina where I can get public transportation back to Washington.
So,

- How can I get from the Airport to the trail and where would I join it?
- Where can I get a fuel bottle for my British Stove?
- Where can I get food supplies before I set out?
- How difficult is it to get food on the trail section in Virginia?
- Is there a train service anywhere near the trail in Southern Virginia or North Carolina?
- How can I get the maps and books I need for a hike like this?
