    @jenilla1 thats shocking you wouldnt think that you would have to second guess a map! Just shows you being prepared doesnt always work! Bet it was something like bear gyrills survival, its not juat about the dark which im scared of my own shadow but water as well!

    According to my Fitbit, average around 18km a day. Purposeful walk? Around 10km.

    @NorthCascades i think walking 15 miles is an achievement never mind having a heavy pack!

    You might think less of me if you knew my motivation. Wasn't allowed to sleep anywhere along the way, so there really wasn't a choice.

    @jenilla1 this is why even if I have a route planned by someone else (internet or book of walks) I will ALWAYS take an OS map and replot the route on the map so I can check notable features etc. The OS map is also to scale with grid lines so a quick thumb count will confirm distances.

    Having said all of that, I recently did a walk with my sister as an out and back of about 6 miles. After my GPS watch said we’d already walked five miles and hadn’t yet turned around we figured we’d very much missed the turnaround point. Given that it was a radio mast I don’t know how we’d not seen it (too much chatting!!) so our 6 mile walk became 11 miles!! But at least with the OS map we were able to see exactly where we were and where we’d gone wrong. The ice cream at the end tasted all the better….

    @girlinahat it's only when you leave the UK, you realise just how bloody fantastic OS maps are. I've still got all of mine from various hiking holiday in Scotland, Wales, Peak District, Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Moors etc etc. Can't quite bring myself to chuck them out.

    14 miles - my mate lives in the Peak District (England) and she kept saying, 'just one more corner' and 'just one more hill'. We walked for around 6 hours as I was a lot less fit than I am now and had to stop at a cafe for an ice cream float! :)

    more recently went to Paris and averaged 14 miles a day for 4 days. That was fun! Saw A LOT.

    Most ultra distance trail races are 50km (31miles) or 50 miles. Sometimes you will get an oddball number like 27 or 36 miles (the 2 distances I'm doing this summer) but they are not as common

    Something like 17 miles. We were at Disney in Florida. I personally can't stand walking unless used as a form of transportation.

    @MeanderingMammal wow 50 miles weather its running or walking is amazing, you must have some stamina! Least i know my 26 miles is possible!

    The LDWA do a number of marathons and ultras, so it's fairly really achievable. I won't say easy.

    I'm doing a marathon in about six weeks where walkers start an hour earlier than runners.

    I quite enjoy the 50K distance now, but as Rybo mentions the 50mile distance is a different proposition. 50K is just a long marathon.

    About 17 or 18, hiking with about 20lb daypack. Hardest day was 10 miles but reached an altitude of 19,000 ft / 5900 m above sea level. Every mile feels like at least three with the lack of oxygen.

    I think 10 hours is really good going esp with breaks, i bet the atmosphere was amazing
