Well its a thought I have too much time on my hands I suppose. A british women cycled solo from Bejing to London. So would it be that hard

[britmaveric]

Seems a bit crazy, too much hassle, but suppose there are more adventurous sorts out there than me.

6000 miles or more, say 30 miles a day, you do the sums

Be a nice touch to add a channel swim at the end of the journey...

*edit... errrr... just noticed it was NOT Bangkok to London.... so ok, BEGIN the journey with a channel swim....

Not to mention walking through Iran, Afghanistan and Burma!

Not exactly a trip through paradise.......

Apparently its 5925, so 6000 is a bit of an over exageration so working on that and if you walk for 12 hours a day at the average walking pace of 3 miles an hour that is 36 miles a day.

So if you walk 36 miles a day 7 days a week it would only take you 164.58 years to get to Bangkok.

Best of luck to you fella

I wonder what the forum will be like in 164 years?

[the scouser]

... 164.58 years ...

I know many West Country folk have a different conception of time, but isn't that 164.58 days? (5925 miles / 36 miles walked in a day)

Scouse.

With apologies to daleyboy... I'm sorry, but I feel all over again.....

perhaps I'm laughing so hard is that it could have just as easily been me doing the math..........

Apparently its 5925, so 6000 is a bit of an over exageration

Is that as the crow flies? Probably a bit longer along the roads.

I could do with a bit of exercise and might join STEALTH K3.

I would suggest upping the speed to 4 miles per hour and not being lazy - also walk for 18 hours a day as there is bugger all else to do, through france/iran/iraq/burma you may want to walk a bit quicker - factoring in all of this you should be here in around 2.5 months.

[daleyboy]

I recall reading a book by a racing-cyclist, ie. 100-150 mile-per-day man, about his Round-The-World trip which took just under a year ! And I'm certain quite a few more-normal, if that's the right word, touring-cyclists do it over a couple of years. You just turn your wheels Eastwards - and keep on going !

So my advice to the OP, in the imortal words of english-politician Norman Thebbitt, would be "On Yer Bike !"

I prefer cycling more but the thing is I am not too good at fixing punctures

ABSOLUTELY!

I think if you're game then give it a go. Worse case scenario is you get bored/frustrated then just jump on a plane. Don't listen to the idiots on here, TV is (primarily) made up of comedians and Chang drinkers!

If you succeeded what stories you would have, if it can't be done at least you can say you tried - GO FOR IT!
