Can it be cycled??
Has anyone attempted this ?
I met a guy a few years ago in downtown Soroti Uganda who was making this trip. Not an easy one. For one thing along the way there a number of entry visa to get … Then the current floods in South Sud;an, plus the political unrest there. Lots of refugees from S. Sudan in northern Uganda … tells you something about what’s happening in that country.
Can this be driven? Even that would be an epic journey!
wonderful idea, pity that the safety in the majority of the countries is not guaranteed.
True. Also: Russia is a war starting and war leading country. They can arrest you and kill you for whatever reason. For the moment, the idea of a peaceful and free world remains a dream.
You have a very distorted idea about true and the free world.
People like you should really try to get out and widen their culture and mentality.
I would suggest that you are being myopic if you are challenging Michael Roth’s assertion about Russia.
I agree with Michael and Bart. This route goes through quite a bit of dangerous territory. It would be a very dangerous journey – not all of it, but quite a few parts of it.
Agreed with Bernie. It just people usually can’t just “grow some balls” to do something like this, go and see for themselves and then make true justification… so much more convenient and comfortable to look at the world from soft sofa through prism of others viewpoints and manipulations.. Can’t get smarter by starting at the screen. Reading quality books, exploring and experiencing are true ways to get a knowledge and widen mentality..
Sounds amazing can I do this I’m 71 years old and diabetic
If you daiabetic that walking is good for Your Health – do it before 80
I’m 74 and also diabetic. Maybe I should come along!
I want the two of you to do this and upload daily YouTube videos with updates. The world would be your cheering secrion.
Are all the countries safe to travel through? Are there places to stop and rest and visit for a few days? What is the shortest distance between towns or villages for the slower walker?
Is there anybody currently underway on this “walk?” If so, are they corresponding with some group(s). As daunting as it is, I would think they might possibly share something of their adventure.
It’s not clear what is meant by “the longest walk”. One can create much longer road paths in the world. Does this mean longest without crossing itself? Longest path with least direction change in some sense? (the route goes predominantly north-east.)
what is the half point of this route?
