[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 8214232, member: 463"] Napoleonic through WW2 sustained march rates on roads were expected to be 40 km/day, that's about 24 miles/day. I think that goes back to Frederick the Great of Prussia introducing the cadence step (but haven't googled). :) With rifle pack & kit. I think a lot of sedentary folk underestimate what a normal fit human body is capable of. And most D&D adventurers are either normal-fit or elites. Edit: 16 miles in the UK is more a long country stroll, though casual country walks are more typically in the 8-12 mile range, allowing for a leisurely start, train/car transport to and from start & end points, and a relaxed pub lunch in the middle. When I used to lead walks I had a rule of thumb that including breaks a walk always took 1 hour per 2 miles. I've only walked 24 miles once in a day AFAICR, leaving the house in the morning, walking 12 miles down the valley, then back. It took about 10 hours with breaks - I was on my own, light pack, on a track the whole time. It wasn't hard though, did not require any 'grit', and I wasn't particularly fit (indeed I have a pelvic disability & prob use more energy than most walking). Main thing I recall was getting hot, running out of water, and drinking from mountain streams - to the horror of my sister when I got back. :) [/QUOTE]
