Thank you all so much for the suggestions. I shall enter them all into the thinking box and make my plans accordingly. Lots of good advice showing there are many ways to enjoy backpacking the great wildernesses this country has to offer - although so far the Sierras are my favourite.:-)
It maybe next year though before I can organise a trip though - or possibly later in the year; this year starting in May I will be in the UK cycling 1,000 miles from one end to the other.
Thanks again.
Ken.
