ADVICE PLEASE

I have been enormously clever and managed to semi-plan and book a 2-day solo walking 'holiday'/break. Hurrah! Only now it appears that the temperature is going to be 33°(91.4°f). It occurs to me that this might be actually a bit dangerous and that as I'm by myself in the middle of nowhere it could be problematic. Day one is a 5.5 hour walk (14.7 miles) from station to accommodation. Day two I was going to do a bunch of exploring and then walk back. But I'm wondering now if actually even just doing 15 miles might be a little extreme. Thoughts please!

@TheBreadmonkey That is too many miles.

@[email protected] @[email protected] As a Brit who's had to adapt to Italian temperatures: yeah, that's probably too much unless you're both used to it and have a lot of shade. 10 miles with a long break in the shade after lunch is more realistic. Also, even for much shorter walks at that temp you'll want lots and lots of water with you (750ml - 1l of water per hour you're walking).
