How long would it take to walk 947 miles?

Answer 1

The time taken would depend on the terrain, the fitness of the walker, the load the walker has to carry and the amount of rest needed each day.

4mph is quite a fast walking pace so assume a general speed of 3mph.

Also assume that the walker needs to rest, which includes meal times, sleep, toilet breaks etc for 12 hours per day. In other words he/she walks for 12 hours each day.

3mph for 12 hours equates to a distance of 36 miles

So a journey of 947 miles would take 947/36 = 26 days approx
