Just wondering what kind of time people spend walking in a day if on a multi day trip?
I've chosen time over distances as terrain can vary.
I've plotted some routes for a planned multi day walk, average is about 18 miles a day. Most of these routes are on forestry roads and trails.
To me that's 6 hours solid walking, so with a break every 6 miles that's push it upto 7 hours, which I think isn't too bad.
I think setting up a camp and having time to enjoying it is part of the experience.
Of course there's a lot of variables such as weather, suitable stop off/overnight points and midgies!!! I'd rather walk for 18 hours than be feasted upon!
Thanks.
