Hello! I'm new here so I thought I'd start by posting a stupid idea I've had for a while. Inspired by Geowizards Straight line across Wales series, I've been thinking it'd be awesome to try and cross Japan in 24 hours. Obviously this would be hard:
So, what do you all think? If you were to do it what route would you take? How would you do it logistically? How would you train.
I'm thinking of giving this a shot in the next few days (but no promises). If I do I'll report back here!
PS Obviously there are shorter paths across Japan (northern Honshu e.g). For this let's assume starting in Tokyo and going West to the sea of Japan.
- The distance would be long 300km or so
- Plenty of climbing
- Little or no sleep
- You'd need to go lightweight so no camping gear or probably even dry clothes
