[QUOTE="GuyA, post: 1024518, member: 9613"] Very interesting…have seen references to Naismith’s rule before and don’t profess to be an expert however the rule also estimates extra time for descents…roughly 1/2 of what it estimates for ascents. In your Wikiloc example It would take 4 hrs 32 minutes with no ascent/descent at 4kms per hour Naismith estimates 6 hrs 6 minutes with 953m ascent and 0m descent Naismith estimates 6 hrs 41 minutes with 953m ascent and 673m descent or 47% more time than walking on flat terrain. Pretty significant! Here is a website that has an easy calculator to use…if you go with 5km an hour the increased time is 59% more than flat terrain! [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.wildwalks.com/bushcraft/technical-stuff/naismiths-rule.html[/URL] Now walking from Poladura to Benduenos as per jpflavin1’s route above (something I am considering) Using 4.5km per hour over a flat 31 km route takes 6 hours 53 minutes walking time. Ascent 1,106m and descent 1,768m (believe from Buen Camino app) would take based on Naismith’s rule 10 hours 12 minutes walking time or 48% increase. For those who have walked this stage does this seem like a reasonable estimate? Past experience…it’s doable but very tough! Guy [/QUOTE]
