Yes.
A normal adult walking pace upon a paved urban footway has been reckoned by urban planners to be 4.4kph.
According to my mental arithmetic, to cover 70km in 18 hours, he would have had to walked at an average of a tad under 4kph for that time, non-stop.
Allow ten minutes out of each hour for a break and he needed to average 5kph for the 18 hours.
As well, the latter third of that journey would have been in daytime.
And it's no paved urban footway out there.
