Walking 53km in one day
Hey i was just wondering if how hard it would be to walk 53km ( roughly 33miles ) in one day. My dad wants to walk the Milford track in New Zealand and be the first to do it in 1 day. Although he wants me to go along wiht him. The official site for the walk says most people will walk it in 3-4 days. And it is suppose to take around 18 hours. Is there anyone in here who hikes and could inform me.

figure if you walk a mile in 15 min, then 33*15= 495 minutes. 495/60= 8.25 hours. It may be possible...

You cant actually walk for all of the 24 hours. Its however long there still is light so around 13-14 hours so u actually need to walk 3.7 km/ph. And you need to take into account the hills and fatigue. Will also be carrying around 10kg.
