>>1021814It's hiking.
>>1021823You also need to add 1 hour for every 600m climbed. This assumes that the hiker is fit and the conditions are good. Using the 3mph + 1h/600m you get a rough _minimum_ time needed to cover easy terrain. There other corrections you can make for fitness, fatigue, conditions, etc.
>>1021827Yeah, 3mph is going to be a tough pace to aim for if you are new to hiking. This is nothing to be ashamed of! The more you hike the faster you'll get.
>>1021843Walk at the pace you find comfortable. I used to push myself to hit certain average speeds and it wasn't fun and can result in injury. If you hike more you'll get fitter and faster so don't stress and just have fun.
