Everywhere is Walking Distance ...

Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. Steven Wright

Use the Shape Magazine 10km Challenge running programme to establish a base fitness level.

The hike involves numerous fairly strenuous climbs and descents (imagine a pavilion and you're almost there). Your pack will start out weighing about 1/4 of your body-weight and go down to about 1/8 if you pack well and eat all the food. Practise using a backpack with something between the two. The longest day is about 14km and if you can manage 10km of strenuous walking you should be OK. It isn't a stroll though, be warned.
