I am an old woman, but hiking a bit of the AT has been on my bucket list for a long time. I would be happy with just one overnight. Almost did it two years ago. The DH refuses to go, but I had talked my favorite sister into it. Bought all kinds of gear. Then she chickened out. No way would I go alone, and my other sisters won’t go either.
I wanted for years to walk the El Camino in Spain. Not in any shape to do that now.
