| Re: Questions on travel distances
20 miles per day, on foot, by road. Average walking speed is about 2.5 miles per hour (women slightly faster than men). So 20 miles = 8hrs. If rough or hilly subtract an hour or two for extra breaks and/or reduce speed to 2mph. I don't know about horses, but it seems that usually at least one person is walking. (note: 1km = 0.6mi, I believe a league is 3 miles, you will have to look up a furlong) |
