[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 5365147, member: 28487"] One mile an hour is slow, I am considered a slow walker but one mile an hour is really slow. I would say that off road but not too rugged terrain 3 mph and less in rugged terrain. If one has to forage they one will walk a lot more but most of that will be foraging. FYI, old folks around here that walked cattle to the fair reckoned 4 hours walk to a Tralee about 16 miles and cows are slow. Davout marched his corp (circa 30,000 men) from Viennia to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Austerlitz"]Austerlitz [/URL]in about 48 hours, that is 70 miles. I platoon of the Irish Army marched 80 miiles in a day in the nineteen forties I remember talking to an old farmer from Cavan when I was in hopsital about it, turned out he was one of the guys that did. So on roads experienced and fit walkers would easily do 4 mph and could push themselves to more. [/QUOTE]
