What is the furthest you have ever walked

My gran once made me walk from Seaton Carew to Hartlepool when I was about 8 and I moaned all the way along. I have no idea how far it is but it felt like I was walking for days.

All I wanted to do was go to the seaside for an ice cream.

She was harsh woman my gran and made me work for my treat 😊
 
Kildale to Saltburn via Cpt Cooks, Roseberry, High Cliff

Was in bits when finished

Also...just done 40 miles in 3 days in Rome
 
I once did the Royal Marines march [not really a walk] across Dartmoor which is approximately 30 miles carrying full backpack [80 pounds] and wearing battle gear, all within the allotted time limit of 8 hours. Not too mention it was early spring so the weather was also a special memory. I was in a squad of around 8 at the beginning, but only three of us finished. The sense of relief of crossing the finishing line is forever etched on my memory today, incredibly the sun was actually shining on the last and longest mile.
 
Hadrians wall walk during my OTC at Cranwell, plus done a fair few of the 'Great Walks' here.

Also done the Esk Valley walk, thats a lovely one if people are looking for a walk to do thats local.
 
I once hit the wall above my head at the end of my bed but it’d been a while…


Edit: sorry misread the thread title. 13 miles approx I’d say is the furthest I’ve walked in one hit, Glenridding-Patterdale-Howtown-Pooley Bridge, then a beer or two in PB and back to Glenridding on the Ullswater Steamer.

In one day? Yorkshire 3 peaks (25 ish miles), twice in 9 hours and 9:30, went both directions. 2 week walk to Everest base camp, kili, Inca trail (by far the hardest) and a few others. A fair few 20milers and boat load of 10+

Not walked in 2 years due to my mental health but did 9 miles 2 days ago, felt good to be back hiking.
 
I did the West Highland way in my early 20's over 4 days , I don't have a clue what days we did so there is probably is 1 or 2 big days in there.
I used to regularly walk over 40km on the Camino de Santiago, usually on hilly bits, for some reason I find flatter harder but since my knees started playing up 2 years ago I struggle with 10-15 km. I have to loose weight, lots to overcome this problem.
 
If anyone is looking for a 22 Mile walk, Cleveland mountain rescue organise The Whalebones walk on Sunday April 30th, coach from Marske to Whitby, then walk or run back along the Cleveland way back to Marske 👍🏃‍♂️🚶

Not like the Para`s then? They get to the half way point and get a lift back in a four-tonner.;)
