Re: What's the average route length?

As a bookkeeper, I like this! Averages !

I have found that the best indicator is the average daily distance (add).
Four challenges done and the "add"s were 23.9, 26.5, 24.4 and 23.5 (in kilometres, sorry!)
Except for the last one, which was only 12 days, it took me 13 walking days.

After the 2011 challenge (26.5 average), I decided this was too much!
Compared to the planned average daily distances (padd), I turns out I always do around 0.5 km more. So I try to keep my "padd" below 24km.

278 miles would be totally out-of-bounds for me. Even taking the full 15 days, that is a padd of 29.6 km - in reality I would be walking more than 30km each day.

Good luck, Paul !!
