And from where to where? I'd say about 10 km for me, from my home to the beach, it took about 2 hours. One day I have to walk into town, 14 km away.

14 miles. Walked from my dorm room to the golf course and back in about 3 hours... usually if I was walking slow or screwing around (kicking golf balls down the streets or singing along to my music or something) it took a bit longer. Still, most of it was walked at a very brisk pace.

By point to point do you mean no stops? Probably not more than 4-5 miles that way. I walked 22 miles in 1 day once. Haven't done that in a long time tho.

covered lots of land chasing deer in the woods. I know we covered 14 sections of land once so figure about 14 miles.

I've done quite a few 10k walks. Besides that? Let's see, there was the 9 mile day when we walked to the next down over and back. Well I did that a few times. But the worst one is when we had groceries to carry for the last 1.5 miles. Our arms were so sore the next day! (This was in college) :P

Now we are more likely to do a 10k walk for a fundraiser. Or be a tourist and walk across SF for 5-6 miles.

I have no idea of my actaul distance travelled but one night in paris after drinking all night I got in a fight with one of my travelling companioins and decided I needed to walk it off. I ended up walking from where we were staying (south of notre dame) all the way to the top of Montmatre. Google tells me that a direct walk is around 5k, but I came nowhere close to walking a direct route because I set off with no goal in mind and just ended up there about 4 hours later.

On a side note a summer sunrise on Montmatre is a spectacle not to be missed. Ussually the place is packed with tourists but I was up there before the metro even started and had the place relatively to myself.

I used to routinely walk 20 miles a day point to point when I lived in Munich. I've hiked up to 32 miles in a day.

I walked slightly over 10 miles once. From the Auto-shop(Car needed major repair) to my apartment. My feet were sore and blistered, and my thighs were chafed raw.
I got a taxi for the trip back.
