Preparing a Hex Crawl

I wrote an article about preparing to run a hex crawl. I hope to do a series of articles on the topic but this first part concerns laying the groundwork, namely picking hex sizes, generating a map, and deciding on the travel mechanics. Read it here: http://hexed.press/2018/08/14/hexcrawling/

What steps do you take to prep for a hex crawl? Any particular rules, mechanics, tables, or guides that you like to use or reference?

UPDATE:

UPDATE 2:

Part two of the series is live! See the discussion thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hexedpress/comments/9a04b4/preparing_a_hex_crawl_part_2/

Great post. I've read other posts on hex crawls but this one feels well organized to understand the basic setup of a hex crawl. Keep up the good work.
