The longest walk on earth stretches some 22,387km and has yet to be tackled by any daring adventurer.
Kicking off in Cape Town, South Africa, at the southern tip of the continent, the walk spans numerous countries, several continents and war zones that would require some extensive planning.
It ends in Magadan, Russia, which you would likely reach after a staggering 187 days and several weeks battling freezing Siberian conditions.
There is also the small matter of the war, which as Basil Fawlty would say, might be best not to mention.

It makes pilgrimages like the Camino de Santiago or the Appalachian Trail - which sees thousands of walkers flood to every year - look short by comparison.
The real-life walk would be grueling, filled with scary animals and diversely bad weather.
There is also the small matter of crossing the Suez Canal and all the trials and tribulations that brings with it, never mind the searing hot temperatures in the Middle East.
The only people who would have bragging rights over you are those who've managed to walk the Pan-American Highway between Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina.
That's a very small list of people, but imagine how disappointed you'd be to tell your incredible tale only for it to be outdone by someone else!
