5 Years thinking about it - try 6 years it was 2011 when you first started thinking! What is a year among friends? I am sure that there will be less people walking at this time of year but there should still be quite a few that you will be able to meet up with in the evenings as long as you don't camp too far away from civilisation. I hope that the weather is reasonably kind and not too bad underfoot, Met Office currently showing as:-
"More showers are likely on Friday (15th September), particularly in the east, though the wind will begin to reduce and there will be more sunny spells around, especially in the southwest. Through next weekend and also next Monday and Tuesday, longer periods of drier and brighter weather are likely across the UK, especially in the south, whilst the northwest may stay rather unsettled at times. Temperatures will probably be slightly warmer than this week, but chilly nights are likely, bringing a risk of early morning mist or fog. From the middle of next week changeable weather could well return for much of the country, though southern and eastern parts will probably get the best of any drier or brighter weather."
Good luck, let us know how you get on. Hopefully the website will allow new members again before too long (after they are able stop hackers etc.) who will be able to contribute and/or ask questions.
