britmaveric Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Seems a bit crazy, too much hassle, but suppose there are more adventurous sorts out there than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketsiam Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 6000 miles or more, say 30 miles a day, you do the sums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowardJohnson Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Not to mention walking through Iran, Afghanistan and Burma! Not exactly a trip through paradise....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleyboy Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 6000 miles or more, say 30 miles a day, you do the sums 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the scouser Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 ... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Apparently its 5925, so 6000 is a bit of an over exagerationIs 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. --------------- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markuk Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 ... 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. 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.

Ricardo Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 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 !" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backpack_thailand Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 GO FOR IT!.................... DON'T FORGET TO KEEP US UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
