I would say on record about 6.2 miles from college to my home a few years ago now.

When contemplating walking I like to think about this Jack Handey quote:


"Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes"

13 miles I know of at least, because I tracked it once... I'm sure I've walked more at Six Flags or something though.

There is an extensive trail system in the Northeast, and the husband and we made it to 13 miles one time just picking random places to go to extend it and marking it with GPS... and one time accidentally ended up coming out the back side of a friend's apt, so we paid him a visit and then walked home. Which was kind of funny in it's randomness (and he was actually home that time!)

When I was in London for the weekend with uni (design conference and then sightseeing for two days) we just didn't use buses/taxis/the Tube at all and walked everywhere.

Over the two days my friends pedometer said we'd walked 30 miles.

I had NO SKIN on my feet, red raw.

When I was in hollywood all the way from the farmers market up to the hollywood hills and literally thought I was going to die. I have no idea how many miles that is though lol.

42 and a bit miles across the North Yorks Moors - The Lyke Wake Walk.

It was a lifetime ago though and the memory resides in my personal museum next to my 'Road Running' days. :hee:

Bloody hell, I have to take a deep breath before I drive that far :laugh: How long did that take you?

:laugh: To be honest Annie, it WAS supposed to be just less than 40 miles, but the reason that I put: "42 and a bit miles", is because we GOT LOST. :blush: and the 'bit' was a good bit. :blush:

It took us over 12 hours and was supposed to be around only 9 to 10 hours.

There were 4 of us who set off - at I think - 7 am from Osmotherley where we had parked our car and 4 others who had set off from Ravenscar at the same time where they had parked their car.

We each had a set of keys for each other's vehicles and were supposed to pass each other 'en route' then carry on to each other's cars around the same time - 5 pm to 6 pm I think.

Well, we got lost, missed the other party 'en route' and did not reach their car until well after 12 midnight.

I was young, strong and fit, but I have NEVER been as knackered as I was that day. :laugh:

Only 6 of the original 8 walkers are still alive and I only now keep in touch with 2 of those, and it is now something to remember with mutual amusement.

Aw, great memory though Kirk.

My mum made me do a 10 mile walk with her as a teenager for Greenpeace. I hated every minute of it at the time...but looking back it was a great day spent with her and the other walkers, even though I moaned literally every step of the way and wondered why the **** I needed to save the whale anyway :laugh:

20 miles years ago for christian aid nigh on broke my feet to bits - no fancy trainers then , just normal shoes.

...I used to walk to Wellington../..NZ in the winter holidays to buy boots...Wellington boots...so San Francisco would have been a dream for me in distance because it’s always that last little half mile that gets you with Wellington...is the thing...
