hey i am 15,live in england and would love to get into some long distance hiking and mountain climbing. I love the outdoors, camping, being away from the materialistic soceity we live in, but in truth i have never done a really big hike before, bascally i was wondering what tips people can give me in terms of where to start(preferably in Europe near or in England) and what survival skills are reqired to become pretty prepared in future. Don't get me wrong i am not totally new to this, i have done overnight hiking and camping before and i am fit, but i mean for a few weekS. Finally i really want to do the pacific crest trail, maybe when i am 18, after i finish school, i know i seem naive but how much experience would i need and how hard would it b. thanks a lot
