Hilarious though this still is, I also find myself wondering why this journey didn't start with the more sensible approach of taking the nearest road to the coast. Coasts are, after all, boundaries between the known an fairly familiar (land) and the unknown and chaotic (ocean). They're inherently tricky to navigate. That's why hikers and explorers make use of trails, rivers and so on. Even animals use trails; they're practical that way.
As it turns out, people manage to walk or cycle between distant points while staying more or less on schedule all the time. You don't have to take what is by definition the least developed route for the whole journey.
