Our trusty detailed hiker Valerie calculated that we have hiked a grand total of 416.1 km to date. At our average speed of about 3.43 km per hour that is 121.31 hours of walking or over 5 straight days (and nights) of walking. Though our ancestors and early settlers of Canada had to travel long distances like this by foot, it is rare these days that people walk long distances for much.
When I look at a map I can't quite believe that our legs and our own steam have taken us from Queenston, Niagara to the Blue Mountains. We have completed 5 sections of the trail and almost half the total trail of 885 km.
I think we forget sometimes that we should be pretty damn proud of ourselves!
