As a rule of thumb, for a route of this length about 2½ miles (4km) an hour will probably be maintained by most regular walkers. When calculating how long any given stage is likely to take, do not forget to include time for rests, photography, consulting the map or guidebook, studying something of particular interest, or admiring a view – all of which add substantially to the day’s activity. In hot, wet or windy conditions your pace is likely to be slower than normal, so take the weather into account too.
