If you're still interested in this, Tom Davies (Geowizard) has done the straight-line crossing in a couple of different countries and posted videos, both of some of the planning and logistics and of actually doing it.
Two of the most relevant are walking all across Wales in a straight line (which did involve trespass on some farms) and dribbling a soccer ball the entire length of the Hadrian's Wall path.
He calls these "straight line missions". Maybe it will inspire you to try some form of this sport, or maybe you'll just enjoy Tom's experiences.
- ionwake 3y agoYep he inspired me I actually did a failed attempt at crossing Liechtenstein it was so poorly executed I made the video private
- eigart 3y agoFwiw, I think even just starting an attempt is impressive. And especially if you’re not local!
- ionwake 3y agoI really appreciate your comment. It was during a particularly hard time in my life so I saw my cousin and then just thought right I’ve got a few days left and the only thing I had in my head was well I don’t know much but I do know I will feel accomplishment if I cross Liechtenstein in a straight line. I found perhaps the only way to do it. Funnily enough I realised I had screwed up when found out first hand what exactly the Alps were and that they were not intact “thumb sized” as they appeared on google maps. As I stood at the bus stop with a mountain towering above me well I gave it my best shot but sheer cliffs behind bushes put an early end to my “straight” yet vertical line. It was a good laugh tho the locals took me out for drinks.
