minus-squareHairyHarry@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·8 days agoI occasionally do long walks, but I know, when I do 30km that day, I need 2 days to recover and 3 months to be willing to do that shit again. 50km a day? Call an ambulance at 40km.

minus-squareSamskara@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 days agoHalf that is more realistic. You have to sleep, rest, eat, buy supplies, get lost, etc. There will be bad terrain, mountains, bad weather, etc. as well.
minus-squareSaledovil@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·8 days agoYeah, it is. Average walking speed is like 4 - 5 km/h. 30km/day is a good marching speed. So, 2.4 years, assuming 30km a day, 6 days a week.
minus-squareAlaknár@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·8 days agoThat’s an average over the 9 hours, so including breaks.
minus-squaresatans_methpipe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 days agoIt’s probably on the low end. Gear weight, elevation change, rough terrain, and breaks will affect overall speed.
1.5km/h is super slow, no?
