He does: 75.9km on the map, 77.0km when accounting for elevation. With the caveat:
"Well, it's never as much as I'd think and it depends upon the accuracy of your terrain model"
- ta1243 4y agoThat number surprised me, but because of how much extra it was rather than how little extra -- I always assume it's negligable, but in this case was over 1%

- teruakohatu 4y agoI also agree it seems like a lot. If there was 3000m of elevation gain and 3000m of elevation loss, I would only expect a couple or hundred extra meters of distance walked. 77.23 ≈ sqrt(77^2+(3+3)^2). Reading total elevation gain/loss from his graph it hard but 3000m up and down seems about right.
