Me. I’m a slow walker. I *can* walk 5K in an hour on flat land, but on Camino I averaged about 3-4 km/hr. Some days probably even less! Many things to stop and look at (interesting buildings, horses, moss) and bad knees. Say hello when you pass me!
I walk 6kph on the flat but class myself as a slow walker because I keep stopping to look at stuff or for a beer/coffee/Orujo whatever. Consequently 10 hours walking gets me 30km, not 60. 😉
I average about 3-5km per hour. I could probably walk a little faster but I would rather be slow and comfortable than fast and uncomfortable. I prefer a maximum distance of 20km per day to accommodate my slow pace.
