26 miles courtesy of the Army. Large Bergen and SLR but thankfully nobody was trying to rub me out at the time, unlike at least one other poster on here. Respect to all in that situation.

I've tried and failed to do the South Downs Way. I walked from Beachy Head to Falmer before blisters the size of slugs did me in. That's about 25 miles. I've done Brighton to West Worthing a few times after missing the train home.
My brother on the other hand....he's an ultra-marathon runner and done a fair few hundred mile runs. The most gruelling was 24 hours non-stop running around a 400m running track in Tooting. He did 110 miles running and a further 6 miles walking. Madness.

In a single hit, it would be competing in the Sussex Downsman Hike prior to when I took over organising it. I did about 60 miles in just over 15 hours Buriton to Falmer (Newmarket Inn).
This year, I may get to do 65 miles on the same event, now I don’t organise it any more.

If anyone is interested...the Tooting 24hr event is an annual thing. It's been going for years and was founded by an Indian chap who believed in running as a way of meditating.

Similar, I organised a Stag do to Cologne and obviously ended up in Pasha the biggest Brothel/strip club in Europe. The drinks are free to get you spending and we were pished before we got there. Several hours and many lap dances later we got up to leave and them all split up as taxis arrived, people needed toilet etc. I got left alone, with no cash, no mobile and no sense. I know I have a great radar and direction so set off walking back to the hotel (hostel) sadly I was in a foreign country and very very lost. I spent 4 hours walking in circles and getting nowhere around residential streets as the night slowly turned to day. I eventually got to a petrol station sobbing with blistered feet and ordered a cab. My mates had been up all night waiting and worried as they had called my mobile countless times and even posted on facebook so my wife knew I was AWOL at a brothel (thanks) NO IDEA how far I walked - somewhere between 5 and 5000 miles but it was emotional.

Not the furthest that I’ve ever walked, but one evening many years ago a mate and I ended up walking 9 miles from Bearwood in Birmingham to Hagley, having no idea where Hagley was at the time. We had been given rough directions and were told it would take 15-20 minutes to get there. They had made the false assumption that we would be driving.

40 miles, Keswick to Barrow sponsored walk - was quite a big event and we travelled from our school in Haywards Heath to take part as our Maths teacher was from the Lake District area originally - we were aged 14/15. Worst bit was the journey back - this was in a school mini-bus, wooden slats down the side, and every time someone inevitably got cramp on the 10 hour journey home, they got a good kicking from the rest of the group as they writhed in agony on the floor! Tears for Fears "The Hurting" was the sound track for the trip - no humour was intended!

When I was about 10 my older brother thought that a walk along the South Downs Way from Hangleton to Arundel would be a good day out. I think it's over 20 miles of walking up and down hills and I hated every minute of it in the baking midsummer sunshine.
26.2 miles four times! Not all walking though.

Should've hopped on a No. 9 bus!
I've done around 15miles in a day on the Camino to Santiago. All in all I reckon I walked about 200-250 miles of the 500 total and cheated by hitching lifts for the rest. More than 40 years ago and my feet still ache
