Sun cups (Section 32)

There is a lot to be said for having a schedule that you can achieve fairly easily: you will feel good when you get ahead and it will give you flexibility in case of problems or injuries. If your schedule is too demanding you will become demoralised when you fall behind, or injured if you try to keep up.

You will find all the information you need to produce a schedule in the appendices. Appendices D1 and D2 give hiking hours between recommended resupply points and outline schedules for 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170 and 180 day thru’-hikes. All of these leave Kennedy Meadows on June 15, which would be an appropriate date in an average snow year. ssss1 gives a breakdown of the figures for miles, hiking hours and miles/hour between the five main regions of the PCT. ssss1 gives the precise daily schedule completed by Ancient Brit in 2002. ssss1 gives a detailed sample schedule for a 180-day though-hike. This is the type of schedule you should produce for yourself. ssss1 gives a schedule for a very slow start for those who are extremely unfit. Those hiking 160– 180-day schedules might prefer to start a little earlier, if snow conditions allow, so that they finish a little earlier in October.
