Fifty years ago, when I was young and fit, with a proper harness and
good country I might have made ten miles.

If I was a group of several people with carrying poles and sling, it
might be possible to make 20 miles by taking turns. After all, Roman
armies did that and better.

However, there is no evidence that anyone had to work to their limit
to transport the KRS.
