Quote:
How many miles an hour do you think your group can make and over what kind of ground?
How about in a day or a week?
Are you counting time for feeding and sleeping?
Are you counting the weight of the packs slowing you down?


This all depends on the terrain, the weather, the pack weight and the level of fitness.

You may find the following interview entertaining, the experiences of the Maggie Hems about the enjoyment of the TGO challange crossing (A walk across Scotland in Spring), getting her pack weight down to 15kg and walking as a solo lady.
