    That's....err...... 5 miles an hour. None too shabby. Marathon pace for fun runners. Where did you end up?

    indded it is, but alas i came back in the yesterday afternoon, getting picked up after a pub lunch. i dont think my feet could manage 30 miles over 2 days at that pace, i need to harden them off a bit again. my DoE days are long over so im not used to yomping.

    If god had intended you to walk 15 miles - he wouldnt have invented the carbon fibre bicycle!! :!:

    You are on a cycle forum and you are telling us about a long walk. Hmm. Whats the world coming to?

    Bicycles were invented because walking is inefficent and slow. Did you know that a bicycle is one of the most mechanically efficient forms of transport with an efficiency of 98% plus? The calorific value of one gallon of petrol can propel a cyclist for 10,000 miles - no I didn't accidentally put an extra couple of noughts on that figure.

    If you're feet are sore and you're tired, boo ha ha. How far would you have gone if you had cycled for 3 hours?

    Walkers should be shot and besides, I have the monopoly on inane threads - thats my turf, back off or i'll set Anne Widdicombe on you.

    Reminds me of student days and coming home to see my parents - only I was a week early & they'd be in France for another 2 days. So with nice weather, a rail ticket that would only take me back three days later and a desire to eat from someone else's fidge I walked the final 12 miles, in a pair of oxfords. Feet ruined.

    Drinking a gallon of petrol doesn't taste nice. Afterwards I want to curl up in a ball and barf and not feeling like cycling 10,000 miles. Besides I would have to be back before next monday for work, I don't fancy phoning my boss from Adelaide or Brisbane and asking for a lift in.

    Why not just have fuel gels on the way and you'll end up with a gallon in you by the time you get there so you can ride back again!
