whats the furthest you've ever walked?

I've gone for 60 mile + walks a few times. I've done mountain routes in the Alps that wouldn't cover a lot of distance along the ground, but take 18 hours + of moving steadily.

Wicklow town to Glendalough - cause we read the map wrong, and got miles and kilometres mixed up...Scenic road, I must say. Had to hitchhike back though (some random truck driver, think he wanted to marry me, couldnt understand a word he said) cause our feet hurt...

Used to do 20 km hikes regularly when I was younger...

Ah but the moon doesn't count. Giant steps are what you take, walking on the moon.

I've discounted Lanaier's posts. Recommence the pissing contest.

Did a section of the Camino de Santiago last year... longest walk was 20 miles (32km). Compeed is a saviour!

sbsquarepants · 05-05-2011 10:37AM

Not sure if it's the longest i've ever walked but the absolute worst was from Kildare town to Monasterevin about 10k i'd say, at about 3 in the morning a few days before christmas, bitterly cold, wearing a t shirt cos i'd left my jacket somewhere in my drunken state. Also being a city boy i'm really more used to having lights on my roads.
Was a fúcking nightmare!

The_Kew_Tour · 05-05-2011 10:39AM

Walked from Raheny to Rathmines once. After a one night stand was well worth it:D

Doublin · 05-05-2011 10:45AM

I walk around 10 miles daily, best habit I ever took up.

rainbow kirby · 05-05-2011 10:48AM

Walk - 10km
Run - 42.2km

unknownlegend · 05-05-2011 10:52AM

55km. The art o neill challenge, took about 15 hours. Tough going since we started at midnight... lack of sleep gives a similar feeling to being a bit tipsy I noticed!

NothingMan · 05-05-2011 11:01AM

Use to do a hike once a year from Marley Park to Knockree Youth Hostel over the Dublin/Wicklow mountains. About 30Km according to Google but it's the hills that'll get ya.

Also from Knockree youth hostel to Powerscourt Waterfall and back, about 20Km. Wasn't too bad, nobody would pick up 2 handsome young hitch hikers though. Well 1 handsome young hitch hiker and my mate.

El Horseboxo · 05-05-2011 11:13AM

4 days in Ecuador. Slept about 4 hours a night though and stopped for small breaks along the way. Longest was probably bout 5 or 6 hours straight.

rainbowdrop · 05-05-2011 11:14AM

Went camping in the Cairngorms (mountains in Scotland) with school when I was a teenager and walked 24km's during an orienteering exercise. Remember being wrecked tired afterwards but grand the following day. I was very fit then:)

Recently the furthest I'v walked was 10km for charity a couple of years ago. Had pains in my legs for a few days afterwards:(

Alun · 05-05-2011 11:19AM

55 miles (88km) on a famous charity walk called the Bogle Stroll when I was at Uni in Manchester. It's still going to this day, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogle_Stroll. I did it 4 times

Also regularly do long distance walks in England, most recently the Coast-to-Coast walk, 315km over 14 days.

Uncle Mclovin · 05-05-2011 11:23AM

I walked from the camp site to our bus after 4 days camping at Oxygen. I vowed that day to never ever go to Oxygen again. Torture it was..... Torture

bonzodog2 · 05-05-2011 12:11PM

I walked about 18 miles one night in Wales, from Cardigan (I think) to Fishguard. Started hitching in mid-Wales, by the time I got to Cardigan it was dark and little traffic, so I figured I'd stay warmer if I started walking. I got to the ferryport too late for the morning ferry, so I had to wait another 12 hours for the evening one.

CorkMan · 05-05-2011 01:07PM

Walked 14.135 miles (or 22.7km) according to google maps. I remember being in bed for 2 days afterwards because my ankles seemed a bit loose.

Manic Moran · 05-05-2011 05:16PM

In one go without stopping, 30km.*

Did it for the German Army Proficiency Badge, about 15kg of gear, and 5 hours to do it in.

I crossed the line in 4:26. One of the more stupid things I've ever done. Since I had failed the sprint and long jump, I had no particular reason to do the 'Gold' standard for the road march, and tankers are not supposed to walk any further than the motor pool. I was the only non-infantryman daft enough to do the 30km.

NTM

*I did pause for long enough to pull in at the medic, and get some moleskin on a blister that was forming on my heel

NTM

richymcdermott · 05-05-2011 05:19PM

The longest i walked was too the bedroom to the kitchen , the longest i ran was the kitchen to the bathroom..

no1beemerfan · 05-05-2011 05:41PM

Cork City to Bandon town. T'was for charity but I've done pleanty of hill walking and I've cycled further!

holystungun9 · 05-05-2011 05:42PM

I walked form Old Trafford back into Manchester city centre. Google maps is telling me it should take an hour, all very well if you know where you are going! Also, wasn't a good day to not have a hat and suncream with me.

Are you sure you were in Manchester? I lived there for two years and never saw the sun.

Longest walk for me was the Inca Trail in four days, including 6-7 hours one of the days. It's probably not that long but the air is pretty thin.
