Nice; The Great Saunter is a 32 mile trip, and it took my friend 12 hours to complete it. Hard to imagine walking a full 48, especially in the middle of winter.

With the right clothing, I could see it being easier in mid December. Low temps (but not bitter) which make it easy to regulate body temp, and likely no snow.

48 miles is a long way no matter how you dice it though. I couldn't do that.
