Start on the east coast of China and walk at no time limit across Asia towards Europe, and then continue westward til you reach the west coast of France. All local governments have agreed to give you permission to camp anywhere along the route at any time. And professional cooks follow you nearby and will give you food and water whenever you ask

Would you do it?

Yes. Absolutely. With that money I could actually revamp the education system and get some proper logistics going to route people out of shitty and dangerous areas around the world. All for, at most, a few years walking. Walking is fine, it's nothing. Literally the one thing humans are best at.

It would take a considerable amount of time, and also means walking through Russia :/

Not real but I thought of it after seeing that other topic about walking across America

Will me and my cooks be guaranteed safety?

Yea. You can have security guards too.

Does it have to be walking only or can I also jog/run?

Anything that involves moving your feet up and down on the ground is fine

Shouldn't be too difficult. People hundreds of years ago used to do it all the time. Should be even easier for me cause I'll have a team of chefs and plenty of water trailing behind me.

I'd do this for sure. How far is it? Just curious how long it'd take. The average thru-hiker goes 15 miles a day.

That is a ridiculous amount of money for a trip that probably wouldn't be considered too arduous since you'd have an entourage of chefs and guards to watch you 24/7.

Plus, imagine how ripped your legs would probably look at the end of the journey.

That is too much damn money to pass up but how much do we have for expenses? I know that I at least have food covered though but ilI dunno about lodging, equipment, and medical if needed.

you have to camp outside. you can't use any hotels. but you can have medical treatment. the guards also are medics and have training.

Yall know that'd take a year or more from avoiding deserts and mountains. Even though you have bodyguards and medical, there's venomous insects and foreign diseases out there. A year of nothing but walking through the cold and heat, you would probably go crazy.

It should only take more than a year if you're really slow. If you dedicated 8 hours a day to walking (leisurely pace) you'd get there in about 300 days. Don't have to worry much about avoiding deserts because you have camp followers. A bigger issue is crossing military conflicted areas but our safety is guaranteed. You would be able to skip over most mountains as they're on the southern coast of Europe the the most part. You'd have a bit of trouble getting through the Himalayan but not so much the Alps.

I wonder if you can travel from China to Russia to Europe while avoiding winter (assuming you can choose your start time). Probably a lot safer than going across Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Have you seen the weather in some of those areas? Not to mention you'll probably have to go through some dangerous places. He only said local governments will let you pass, he didn't say shit about highwaymen. So fuck no I ain't doing it.

The conditions only stipulate you get to France. The route is entirely up to you.
