We have had discussions on rates of travel before.

I know what I wrote, that 20 miles a day is possible, but that is ONLY if:

1. You know the way, or it is well marked
2. You do not have to find food.
3. You are in EXCELLENT health, young and energetic; OT it is relatively 

flat (i.e.--not in Sartar.

4. You are traveling alone, or someone else in a similar conditions.
5. You do not get lost, hurt or distracted.
6. no one stops you.

If it is 40 miles in Sartar, I'd suggest that 10 miles a day is more likely for a relatively FAST party.
