Yeah but is that unladen or in full marching order.... if you've your a frame, rifle, lid and equipment i'd add an extra ten hours on....
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
not if he goes as a paratrooper, nijmeegan march,oh god it hurts the feet and shoulders.
Even with a wind behind you 31 hours is pretty good going for 91 miles....none stop!
the time was the google estimate
91 miles on foot for me = 1 week
the only way id make it in 40 hours or less would be with the assistance of amphetamine (not unknown for guys in my old regiment to "bomb" a wrap an hour before the Combat fitness test)
