The Longest Possible Walk in the World

[SacredSteps]

Who's up for this one? 14,334 miles / 23,068 km from L’Agulhas, South Africa, through the African continent, the Middle East, Southern Europe, and Asia before terminating near Magadan, Russia. In all, it would take 3+ years of continually walking 12+ miles daily.

Not me. No bocadillos or pimientos de Padron.

Thankfully

Don't get me wrong. I like both occasionally, but not as a steady diet.

Given the challenges you encounter on the longest walk, the opposition of the author to ferries is odd
I'll gladly take a ferry or two if this allows me to escape mambas, armed robberies, war zones, hippos and temperatures of minus 37 C.
It is perhaps best to consult the safety considerations that your Government publishes.

Christine Thürmer is a mega distance walker - crossed North America and Europe east to west north to south, just crossed Chile and more. She’s an ultralight self contained hiker, has done all the big ones alone (APT, PCT, etc). Worth looking at her advice.

THE BIG TRIP ... an outdoor life hiking, cycling and paddling

I’d do it but at the speed I walk my use by date would come up before I’m done.

I don't think so

The term "longest" is inaccurate. Declarative statements should only be made with qualifying definitions. Walking via East Africa and Northern Europe would be longer.

**walks from L'agulhas to Magadan... Cries with joy at completing longest route ever... Reads Daoest's comment.... Decides to just have two weeks in a bed and breakfast in Wales next year...**

if you don't insist on walking the longest possible walk, but you would like to walk in Siberia, the Siberian Times (in english) may be your place to start:

Looks like it was done by Google Maps. Thus it is the shortest recommended walking distance between those endpoints. It would not be difficult to drag some of those points to lengthen the route, or to add intermediate points significant distances away from that route.

I can't spot it; is the leopard's name Waldo?

I think the picture would make a great jigsaw puzzle; it would drive you crazy, but give you personal satisfaction when you'd finish it a year later!

If you notice an Amur leopard on this picture, then you either worked or should be applying for a job at the Land of the Leopard Nature Reserve in the Far East of Russia
