Anybody up for a long walk? Depending on what article you read it can be anywhere from a year and a half to 3 years.
Interesting Engineering has the latest reminder of what we believe is the longest walkable single distance on Earth, from South Africa to the far northeastern Russian city of Magadan. At no point would you need to use even a small boat to ferry across a river, because the entire route is made up of roads with bridges.
I am obviously lazy. That walk doesn't tempt me at all...
ReplyDeleteI suspect some of the border crossings you'd need to make would pose more of an obstacle than rivers would.
ReplyDeleteSue - But, I wanted you to send me pictures as you walked the trail.
ReplyDeleteInfidel753 - You would have to travel at night when everyone is sleeping. Make sure to wear silent sneakers.
ReplyDeleteI don't think my Runkeeper app will generate enough digits to cover it. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI can't even keep up a daily walk around the block!
ReplyDeleteMike, i`d certainly take a walk like that if i knew 'you-know-who' was waiting for me at the end of the line, actually, i`d swim the Atlantic to get to that bird ! ! !.
ReplyDeleteEven when I was younger that wouldn't appeal to me. Now-NO WAY!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if anyone has done this, or is planning on doing it?
ReplyDeleteI'd walk to my library and get the book and read about it if someone did.
Hard pass especially thinking about the amazing weather you would get to experience in Russia.
ReplyDeleteBill - I ship you another one at the halfway point.
ReplyDeleteDeb - I'm right there with you.
LJ - I don't doubt that you would make the journey in record time.
Kathy - WHAT? Miss walk-a-holic wouldn't take up the challenge? I'm going to let Tony know about this.
Shaw - I don't think anyone has done it yet. But there are plenty of crazy people out there that would try it.
Matt - You would definitely have to plan the trip with a start or finish during the summer in Russia.
When do we leave Mike? Should we do it backwards?
ReplyDeleteCloudia - I've got it on my things to do list. I haven't assigned it a number on the list yet. I'll get back to you. And I don't think either one of us could live long enough to do it backwards.
ReplyDeleteWell, you'd need a passport I guess.
ReplyDeleteKirk - That's if that route takes you through border crossings that have passport people.
