your longest walk home after a night out?

[fossyant]

Out for a run on a dark afternoon. Sleet falling from the sky.

About 4 miles from home my achiles goes twang I could hardly walk never mind run. Guess who forgot to take his phone with him

The slowest, coldest 4 miles ever as I was dressed only in running top and shorts

About 12 miles from Exeter to Lympstone - several times

Always with a fair skinfull and a 5 mile run to look forward to on arrival

I like walking. I'd happily walk 10 miles home from Newcastle after a night out.

Walked out of Wolverhampton town centre with a friend on what should have been a 3 mile stride home, due to alcohol intake we managed to get lost, fall asleep in a driveway, woken by the police and moved on in the wrong direction and ended up back in the town centre three and a half hours later. We then got a taxi.

In 1991 I went to a Beer Festival in the hills north of Adelaide, and missed the bus back to the youth hostel in Adelaide. I walked in what I though was the general direction of Adelaide for a few hours before I fell asleep beside the road. When I woke up it was daylight and I could not see anything for as far as the horizon stretched in all directions....I eventually made it to a small town and went into a shop to ask directions. I could tell from the look on their faces that: a) I looked like shoot and I was nowhere near Adelaide, and I had not only greatly underestimated the length of the bus journey to the beer festival but I had also been walking in the wrong direction.

Having very little money with me, and now with the general idea of the direction I should be taking, I headed off with a few bottle of water in my hand. This was in the days before mobile phones so I could not contact my friend as I didn't know the name of the hostel.

Initially I tried to hitch a lift, but after a few hours decided I was quite enjoying wandering in the country, so decided to just walk until I reached Adelaide.

I still have no idea how far I walked, but it was fun. I found the hostel relatively easily when I reached Adelaide.

But it had taken me 2 days to get there.

On our end of course night out, one of the guy's refused to take the transport home as he thought he'd pulled, but ended up walking from Yarm to Catterick Garrison. 25 miles by AA route planner.

18 months ago, I got back to Oxford on the coach from a gig in London and, after waiting for a bus for about 45 minutes, found that the buses to my home town didn't run that late, except at weekends. It was then a 12 mile walk home along pitch black roads. Got home about 5am with blistering feet. Oh for the Brompton!

Not exactly a walk but fun.

Got drunk on a train going on leave in the 70s.
My destination was Cardiff, left Plymouth on Monday morning with my mate from Leeds (Yorkie I think his name was)
Meet a Royal Marine on the train, three of us got drunk.
Arrived in Cardiff (via Chesterfield & Leeds) on the Friday skint !

That's a cracker of a story... love that one Mine's about 10 miles, but far to boring to relate once I'd read this

 

[upsidedown]

Tyseley to Birmingam Town Centre many years ago, absolutely trolleyed on New Year's Eve. Only about 5 miles but it was bitterly cold and i had a t-shirt on.
Got to my brother's flat and was doing that big slow hyperthermic shivering thing.

Also Dunfermline to Rosyth dockyard in similar freezing, pissed conditions,

Wembley to Golders Green after a birthday piss up.

A mate overshot his stop, woke as the train stopped at Cheddington and jumped off. Cheddington station isn't even near Cheddington never mind anywhere bigger. No light,no taxis, nothing - he had to walk back to Hemel Hempstead!

 

[Chrisz]

San Carlos to Port Stanley - bloody cold and wet

A mate and I tried to walk home across Tokyo once, but Tokyo, it turned out, was very, very big, plus I couldn't walk without falling into hedges. We ended up sleeping on a bench in a playground outside a toy shop until the first trains started up.
