Well since i got my p's a month or so ago ive got a fair few of these ones.
The ones that i wont get locked up for i'll talk about
A few mates and i decided it was party time, as there was a party on, and decided walking isnt that hard.
We started off walking at about 6, i had a case on my shoulder and a mate had half one in his backpack.
The journey continues for an hour. A shortcut is spotted, but is so pitch black and sketchy we decided we wouldnt risk the **** rapeage.
So up hill for a good 40 mins then back down to the partay. By the way when your exhausted you get crapfaced a lot quicker
All of that would have added up to around 20-30 k's i dunno.
Then theres the dodgy one. A few beers and we see the five-0 and its matt shervington time.
So about 5 footy fields later (literally) were hiding in the bush and see about 3 more go past.
We find a place to chill and then head off for home.
3 more five-0's later and also a fire engine!!?? and were on our way.
Yep, never a dull moment! I bet i set the world 500m record

I was at a party one night with a couple of mates and of course we were all sh*t faced.
Anyway, Come time to go home, we realised we didn't have enough money for a taxi as the supply of alcohol was more important LoL.
So we thought we'd walk home from West / Port Melbourne (Can't remember which one it was) to Brighton.
3 and a half hours later...
I made it home!!!
Someone suggested stealing a bike to get home...but we couldn't find one.
From City Beach to Mount Lawley. PPL in Wa should know they arn't the closest suburbs. No idea how long it took as I was fairly drunk. Wasn't a short one tho

Well, if you just wanna go on the most amount of steps i've taken without any real breaks....
I stomped at a rave for 10 hours straight. Well, i took maybe 30mins all up in scattered 20sec to 1 min breaks. To work this out into distance....
Average BPM in a hardcore track: 170
10 hours of music: 600 minutes
600mins of dancing @170bpm: 102000 steps/stomps
So.....
Each step/stomp would be equal to one stride of jogging. My jogging stride would be about 1.1m on average.
102000 steps x 1.1m/step = 112200m OR 112.2km!
Needless to say i was FUKT the next day. I also lost 4.5kg of body weight...
HOWEVER, my longest actual walk would probably be from Revesby station, to Padstow McDonalds, then to Revesby Mcdonalds, then to Milperra. All while being "Chased" by the police. We actually only thought we were being chased. Really we were just drunk.

I walked hom from word once. City to Flagstaff Hill. Approx 30KM
Also walked from my house to Glenelg. 25KM.
Was not pissed, was just a nice balmy night. Took about 4-5 hours for both. I was just bored, didn't really have anything better to do.

My brother walked home from Brisbane one night. Left his works boardroom at 9 and got home around 3. He sobbered up around Kedron. Dad was worried about him and rang him. He was at the bottom end of Strathpine so he drove out to pick him up. He refused to get in. That's 24km if you went by train.

I did the Te Anau trek through Milford Sound and stuff when I was last in New Zealand. That was carrying your own food, bed, clothes etc. Was about 50 hours of hiking and never found out how many k's but to give you some idea here is a nice picky of the normal soughta terrain.
We encompossed a lot of the local area and the McKinnon Pass, Sandfly Point, Quintin Lodge etc. Was a great hike but DAMN i hate hieghts. That would be the furtherestest I ever walked.

Walked my dog from Semaphore Park to the CBD and back - approx 30 kms return. With a 2 hour break between.
Took the whole day though.
My dog was totally shagged after and slept for like 2 days.

When I was a young chap I did a 16km return walk from charlottes pass up to Mount Kosizsio or something like that.
Few years ago did a 17km return walk from megalong valley up in the blue mountains to some river.
My most famous walk was from Mount Druitt police station to corner of stoney creek & palmyra road (Willmot) at 2am in the morning. It was 15km I think. Thats when I was caught for drink driving. I learn't my lesson the hard way.

Been a few places... Kosciusko Nat. Park for 5 days, A lot of places in Blue Mountains, Kurrajong Heights, Somewhere out near Wiseman's Ferry... A few places in Springwood..
Probably the 5 dayers would be around 200km in the bush off track, then another few k's getting back to civilisation via the tourist tracks..
Had a group of friends get stranded in Gunderman, lost contact with a few others during a training run a few years ago then found them the next day, had another friend have to turn back because of illness...
But suburban wise, I walked home from the station because I forgot I didn't have the car that afternoon... ~13kms... took me about 2 hours to run, walk, run and stop off at macdonalds for something to eat =D I'm your crazy sort that you'll see jogging around at 3 am..

got my dad to come and pick me and my mate up at about 7:30am
dunno how many k's it was, but our shins where ****ed by the end, and it was about a 25 minute drive.

Hi guys im new on here =P
Anyway, one time I utterly cracked it with my GF, so I walked 4 hrs .. got close to home then a dude in a brand new XR8 gave me a ride, how nice =)
But ive done that a couple of times when I go off on a tangent I just get up and walk a few hours... dunno how common that idea is tho.
