Before the expedition you will need to plan absolutely everything including the route you will be walking on. I’d recommend not making a route that goes over a lot of hills as it really saps your energy, I know from experience. To plan your route you could just do it on a physical OS map but there is a tool on the Edofe website which lets you plot your own route and then convert it into a route card, the Edofe website will be linked below but there are other online mapping tools.
For both days you need to make sure you have enough energy to sustain you through the whole thing. I seriously advise you have a lot of snacks such as: sweets, energy bars etc. This is so that during your walking, or however you are travelling, you can stay energised and reduce how many breaks you take. You will want food too for your main meals but you can buy things like ration packs which have a meal inside them which you prepare by adding hot water.
