Apparently, it would take ten days to walk from John O'Groats to Stonehenge today ...

Even by modern standards, John o’Groats to Wiltshire is a bit of a trek: nearly 500 miles, 13 hours by car or a 10-day walk – and that is without having a six-tonne block of stone in tow.

50 miles in a day sounds like elite-level walking to me.

I did Trailwalker twice. It's 60 miles and took 26 and 27 hours. That was about 24 hours of walking and 2-3 hours of breaks and no sleep.
