Hmmm why not pick some historical person and follow in their footsteps? I suppose even then people managed to get about quite a bit so you would have to pick someone quite sedentary or else you'd be in for a beast of a trek. An exchange student suggested I go on this pilgrimage with her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_de_Compostela#History_of_the__Way_of_St._James_Pilgrimage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_de_Compostela#History_... I'm not a religious person but I don't think that that is really important. It seemed to be more of a summer break thing with the added bonus of possible redemption. I suppose you could even take a car and just follow the route. Actually this might be a bit sacrilegious.
