Oh, don't be daft! So one player's looking at the Alps, another at the Himalayas, and another at a 500-ft hill? While all travelling across them at the same speed? And if you're using a pre-written scenario, the writer had another set of assumptions entirely, and didn't tell you which ones?
Can you imagine the plans? "So we walk up the valley, we'll be there lunchtime." "No, we rope up, and use iceaxes, and take enough food for a week."
Or the reactions to bits of scenario plot?
"A week later, and your scout has not returned."
"Well, no, it's a long way, might take him ten days."
"Huh? It's two hours walk!"
