RE: MEET ME, Next Week! - bigpaul - 11 November 2012
remember Scythe, if walking on country or other roads without a pavement, walk on the RIGHT hand side of the road, FACING oncoming traffic.....

Nice one buddy! This has got me thinking - I need to test my long stance BO route. Thankfully there's a pub at the end of it!
Right, better print off my permission form in triplicate and broach the subject with the missus...

He's going to need more than luck if he is going to do it in the 2 days 13 hours he said earlier. Thats 3 miles an hour constantly for 60 plus hours. No sleep, no rest, no food stops.
More than a tad over optimistic I think, and requiring a bit more thought
Before anyone moans at me for being negative - he asked for feedback

i dont think there is a human on this planet can walk for 60 hours @ 3MPH NON STOP, you need sleep and rest breaks Scythe old boy!!!!

Considering there are people who run 100 miles in a day (damn right!!! Ultra Marathons!!! Tarahumra....and many others) then it is doable.
I'm probably over estimating my abilities. But then again, why not push yourself?
I got banned from a forum for going camping in the winter, and I'm impressed with how supportive everyone is being. Even people like IB1 and BP (face on coming traffic, right? haha), although they are not saying "Go for it." I still really appreciate their feedback, and I love how nobody is banging on them for their opinions! That shows a huge level of maturity from the whole forum. Not just them being honest about their views, but also everyone else that may disagree!
The walk will start on Tuesday. Should be back by Friday morning, just in time to sleep until Monday haha.
I'll be taking food breaks! Eat on the move. Will consider running/jogging a little, towards the end, if I feel up to it.
Might well take some chemical nutrition (ephadrine or Clen) with me to help through the tired parts...and to help with stamina.
REALLY appreciate EVERYONE giving their honest feedback!
I might not make it, but as far as I'm concerned, failure is NOT an option.
