Hi all,

I will begin my first tour in about six weeks' time.

I am hoping people can give me some general advice about what to expect and how to stay positive on the first day. I imagine that poor weather, getting lost, finding that equipment isn't suitable and other inconveniences could be discouraging and cause one to think "what am I doing here".

I imagine that getting through the first 24 hours would be the biggest challenge. Any wise mottos, creedos or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,


Matt
