A walking trip
consisting of an average of 20 miles a day, for 15 days.

It went: left, right, left, right, quite a lot.

But worth it: changed my feeling of distance for ever.

Gives a sense of perspective.

I could see myself doing something like this.
Or, rather, I'd like to think I could. Whether I'd get round to it is another matter. Props to you for actually doing it.

I walked a week of the Pilgrim's Way in north Spain
Not as far as you, but it was very satisfying that the bus trip back took so long!

Spot on.
I schlepped the Ridgeway a coupla years back. When you can plot your walk on a GLOBE you know you've walked somewhere.

Didn't manage 20 miles a day, though. You are clearly less fat and rubbish than me.

I'd quite like to do this
I go walking in the Lake District a couple of times a year, and I've recently dreamed of walking the hightops of Europe, but my knees are starting to give out.

This sounds like a decent alternative to me. And I like the idea of plotting the route on a globe - that's old style adventuring that is.
