Please read the post more carefully. "Compassed across country middle 2.5 days". No mention of 'average'. Day 1  actually was 31km, which is easily done on a logging trail; similarly, with the last 2 days. The 2.5 days in the interior averaged about 8-9 km/day. We're farmers by trade. We move. jmf.

Younger brother and I just finished our 2nd trek...backpacks only...across Algonquin. Upper west side over and down to the Madawaska exit. 120 km. 5.5 days. 4 moose. Compassed across country middle 2.5 days. Good exercise for this farmer and grandfather. Never a campfire. Used compass, Algonquin maps, Bkbry Canada Pro app, and Satellite 'InReach' Explorer.

In spring '17 my brother and I bushwacked right across Algonquin...west to east. Upper interior. 4 days; 107 km. Doing a different and longer route very soon. InReach Explorer and maps a must.
