What is the farthest you've ever walked?

About 100 miles over 3 days, a Duke of Edinburgh expedition, such fun!

The furthest I walked... 10 kilometres, my sister was alone at home, my mother had a car breakdown, and I was at my theatre lesson.
They were no bus. (they are no buses where I live, except for the building companies transports who put 200 indian chaps in a 25 year-old Tata Bus).
I had to walk to look after her...

I walk 7k every other day.

I would say approximately 30 kilometers at Wilsons Promontory in Victoria Australia about 24 years ago.
More recently on one day I walked 22 kilometers last year

I normaly walk around 4 to 8 miles a day, but the longest I've ever done so far is 20. I plan to do 30 in one day at some point or another.

About 6 miles is the most I've done in one go. During the spring or summer if it's a nice day (which is by no means guaranteed in Britain) I'll often take a walk downtown which is about 1 and a half miles away.

Over 10 miles. I really would like to walk over a hundred.

When I go to the bar, I usually walk home. That's usually a 50-55 block walk so about 5-6 km, I say. I did once walk to St. Albert once - a 70 block walk or 7 km.

just over 36 miles in less than a 24 hour period.

Walked out of ft. gordon (main entrance) to downtown augusta. Then walked back to ft gordon down the back road (tobacco rd.)

i was bored and needed something different.

I have strolled five miles in a park one way then back again (ten miles total-one non stop trip), in the mid, scorching summer, without water. (this was in south Texas, united states, by the coast. ok. Was hot at the time) That was stupid! Almost fainted to. In fact I started feeling light headed and weak. My vision was starting to get impaired. Not a good sign, imo. Won't ever do that again! Ten miles, ok, but not without water, or to the point of near heat stroke, thank you.

That strut took me two hours, by the way. I don't have the muscle to hurry that far. Especialy in the heat. ... or was that three hours? Lost the time. It did take hours, I believe... so stupid of me

Not sure what the mileage is, but it takes just over 30 minutes to climb up the steep hill from my apartment to my school.

Originally, I did it because I had an evening class, and my school's tram services ended after 8:00pm. But I started doing it on a regular basis for the exercise.

Back in the mid 1980s when I still lived on Long Island I walked all the way from Elmont
near the Nassau-Queens County border line to my job in East Garden City some 7½ miles each way.... A total of 15 miles every day...

No idea but I still remember one long walk when I was on a summer camp in my middle teens – it was so hot then and I were so tired, I felt like one of the members of Bataan Death March.

I once walked a whole night. I was so frustrated, confused and couldn't sleep. Do not know how much kilometers or miles (probably 30 km/20 miles at least.) but that endless walk was surely the longest walk I ever took. Took a train back and slept for 16 hours after that, I think.

You win!

I used to walk to a friend's house when I was a kid. He lived about 3 miles away, but to a kid on foot it seemed like he lived ten times as far. He lived in a wealthy neighborhood, and I lived in a bad neighborhood. There wasn't much between our neighborhoods, but there was a road that connected them and I'd walk it every now and then.

When I was a little younger and in better shape, I used to walk a 7-mile urban riverfront trail some days, and other days I would run it. It was 7 miles back, which I always hated because by the time I made it to the end I REALLY didn't want to walk back to my car.

And for a while I would bicycle to and from another town, which was about 17 miles round-trip. Not too bad.

That's about it. I do miss being a teenager and walking everywhere, though. I lived in the inner-city, so nothing was too far away... 1-2 miles mostly. There was even a mall about 3 miles away but I never walked up there because of the traffic in that area. One thing I never did like was walking across major roads.

About 15 miles I reckon, but I ran it and charged up and down a minor "mountain".
