How Far Have You Walked

[Guest]

If anyone is familiar with Lisbon, i walked from the Docks to Rossio square, then up to saldanha and back to my place in rato, i was totally lost and drunk at the time. id put that at about 3 or 4 miles.

Collier Row to Hutton one hazy night a couple of summers ago. I was pretty much incapable of walking the next day....

One of the lads I work with walked from York city centre to where he lives in Wetherby (near leeds). I would say it's about 16 miles.

It took him 9 hours -

All because he spent his taxi fare on more beers and was too drunk to think about ringing anyone for a lift!

The previously mentioned Russell Crowe was on the lash in the city many years ago and woke up at Southend Vic only to find that the trains back to Billericay were not running. So he walked......got in through the front door only to hear his alarm clock go off as he walked through the bedroom door, He turned round and went back to work.
Mind you he looked like s**t the next night (in the pub !)

Mine's very close to the thread but more related and a result of extreme stupidity.

We'd planned to walk the 44 miles from Keswick to Barrow for charity aboutt his time last year and we were travelling up the night before. Made good time getting up there so we had a few pints up there before the rest of the group arrived. Needless to say, we took this pub session as a typical pub session and by the time we all got in bed at about 4 we were quite jolly.

Next morning we had to be up at six to get to the start in time. We slept in til about 8, started an hour after everyone else and felt like crap all day!

Quite good timing this: in 97 the night before election day I went clubbing and ended up at a party with a few girls in the middle of nowhere. When I woke up on an airbed extremely hungover I had no cash and had no idea where I was, except someone told me to go left and left again for the motorway- the A7 I think. It took me 5 hours to walk home and I walked through three constituencies in Edinburgh whilst people were voting. Funnily enough when I got back I was too lazy to vote.

Incidentally, on this theme of walking somewhere ****ed... erm, not that far really. I've done some walks that have freaked me out in retrospect... but that's because they were on incredibly busy roads but I have no recollection of making the journey. For example Piccadilly via Hyde Park Corner and Victoria to Pimlico... at 6pm on a Sunday after an all-day-Sunday session. I have absolutely no recollection walking alongside some of the busiest roads in London, which does worry me rather.

My late night party-trick is (a) to fall asleep on a night bus; and (b) to then hitch a lift home - something I've done three times. Longest hitch was Putney to Pimlico, which was pretty flair!

Used to walk home from The Esplanade pub to Caulfield Road, Shoebury quite often, in all weathers, circa 1993 - 1995.

and I once walked to and from Zero when I lived in Shoebury

From Leigh-on-Sea to Grays..... It was daylight when I arrived home !!!

My mate moved Taunton and promised us he knew how to get home, we ended up walking about 7 miles to get home we ended up on the bloody motorway! Had to walk the country lanes in pure darkness
