I did 25 miles in the mountains of Colorado when I was a Boy Scout...does that count?

I don't think I'd be keen to walk through the Middle East on foot.

I did 18 in Oregon in Eagle creek. Two days up to Wathum Lake, one day down. Last time I ever willingly went on a long hike/camping trip.

Walked alot... Does one get extra points for the type of terrain? Just wondering.

And now I have difficulty walking to mailbox about 80 feet away!!!!

My longest walk was 36 miles in one day. In high school, I helped organize "Hike for Hunger". The first "hike," I walked 24 miles, the second "hike," I walked 36 miles.

That was my very first thought on seeing the picture! By the way, I love the orange kitty picture!

That's fascinating. thanks for posting. I guess you could make it even longer with detours. Appears to go through Israel. I'd be in. If I could do it which I never could.

And the end point is a very chilly port city in NE Russia. It's where the soviet gov't used to ship its political prisoners before sending them along to one of their gulags.

Interesting OP, Deb!

And I had thought the Appalachian Trail would be a long walk!
(USA; Georgia to Maine)

Not that I could ever actually do that one, either, but it was fun to imagine.
Pales in comparison to walking from South Africa to and across Russia, though.

Thank you for your service! You put it all on the line for us. God Bless... and you do win the prize for the 'walks' you took...!

Bella, this is excellent. My longest walk in one day was much less with 24 miles at age 37.

Murrmurr, this is quite interesting, as I just began to read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's book "The Gulag Archipelago". Magadan is a sister city with Anchorage, but I doubt that there are a lot of activities in this field now.

 

[Chet]

I ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) but I don't know about walking.

 

[Alligatorob]

I like the idea of taking a long trek... but doubt I'll ever be able to do it.

Apparently no one has done this walk either.

I used to run marathons when I was younger but never walk 24 or more miles! Pretty cool!
