Thanks for the link @mspath; what an amazing lady...both of you actually!Indeed. What a journey it would be!
For blogs of someone who has walked much of the world during the past decade read
Ann Sieben, Winter Pilgrim
One very snowy night in February 2009 I met Ann in the old winter albergue room in Santo Domingo de la Calzada and have followed her many winter journeys ever since. What courage and determination!
Are there facilities for eccentric dodderers like me?View attachment 95814View attachment 95815Wow...I can't even begin to comprehend this potential trail. I wonder if it could be done... logistically, politically...safely...
Anybody done any sections or know someone who has? I know some members have walked through Turkey at least.
This falls in the 'Dream Big' category & would be daunting to even the most intrepid (that's not me...) amongst us!
Happy trails everyone...wherever, & most topically...whenever.

I'll carry your hat & collect the Big $$$ sure to roll in at each pit-stop performance!Are there facilities for eccentric dodderers like me?What a trip it would be for mind , body and soul! Could it be crowd-funded for the elderly? I could pay my way by being a travelling poet!

Perhaps there's infrastructure (And google maps knows the route. Now which footwear would last 22,000km.
I have also read that the border crossing into Israel is closed
When I was a hospitalera at Emaus in Burgos, I met two Korean pilgrims, who had travelled by bicycle from Seoul and were heading to Santiago. The journey had so far taken them 22 months, much of that time spent waiting for visas in former Soviet countries.The Russian section may have to be broken into many stages walked months apart if you need visas.
Has anyone tried this: The Great Trail/The Trans Canada Trail that extends over 27,000 kilometres ... includes a system of greenways, waterways, and roadways - so not walkable every step of the way, alas...
https://thegreattrail.ca/ -- see Explore the Map to see the trail...
Happy trails!
The TCT is on my 'Dream Big' List...& my name is also on a metre of it somewhere!The Great Trail goes along the Bow River in Calgary, about 10 minutes walk from where I live. I cross a bridge designed by the Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava and whichever way I turn along the Bow River, I am on the Great Trail. There is a small structure along the path to the east which gives some information about it.
I guess it would beg a few questions, like why do it and how would anyone possibly fund such a trip if they didn't have the savings or earnings to cover it?View attachment 95814View attachment 95815Wow...I can't even begin to comprehend this potential trail.

Well with this mornings news that a cargo ship is stuck accross the suez canal that's the above issue solved. It could be used as a bridge..... And imght even have a few containers of footwear on board!The route involves a ferry across the gulf of suez so I don't think it's correct to claim that this is a route with "no boat or air journey." There is at least one bridge across the Suez canal, but I don't know if it's possible to cross by foot. In any case, the route shown is not the longest walk without a boat.
I have also read that the border crossing into Israel is closed, but I guess that might change.
