Distance between Redwall and Salamandastron. (The places, not the books)

[Sebias of Redwall]

So the title basically sums it up. How long would it take for a creature (For example, a mouse let's say) to walk from Redwall Abbey to Salamandastron. I'm sure they said how long it took in the books, but I can't find it.

[Cornflower MM]

In Mossflower it took Martin&Co a season to walk there - Granted, the way they took is much, much different a lot longer than it seems to take on average in the rest of the books. I would say anywhere from between 5 days and 2 weeks.

It would probably depend on how often you almost get killed on the way. It generally happens at least twice and sometimes it involves a minor detour. If you took the quickest route and didn't have any interruptions, it could take about two, three days, ish.

[Booklover]

And it depends which route they go. For some reason, Brocktree went north then west, and eventually south, whereas he could have just gone west and through the mountains, like Martin and co. did. I know he didn't go from Redwall (nor did Martin and co., for that matter), but Brockhall is near to Kotir, which Redwall was built on top of.

In Mariel of Redwall, it didn't seem to take that long. And from what I can remember, in Outcast of Redwall, it didn't take long. So a season when they're hurrying does seem a bit off.

I think Brocktree went that route to avoid the blue vermin and to gather troops.

I don't think anyone has succeeded in getting from Redwall to Salamandastron (or visa versa) without getting interrupted, so it's hard to tell how long it would take if all went well.

In Mariel of Redwall, I think it would have taken Captain Clary and co about a week to get to Redwall, from when they left Salamandastron. (It doesn't actually say how long it took so I'm not absolutely sure. That's just an estimate from what I gathered reading it)

Well, I don't have The Long Patrol in front of me (being at work and all) but I know in that one Cregga basically force marches her hares from Salamandastron straight to Redwall (well, a hill close to Redwall, but whatevs)  She get's a bit sidetracked, but the length of that journey might be a good indicator if somebeast wants to look it up before I get a chance to.

Hmm...That's right. I think it was three days, but I think I'll go check.
Thank's for the info, everyone, btw!

That's alright. I hope it was helpful.

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

In the Outcast of Redwall it takes Sunflash twenty something days to get from the north river mouth to Salamandastron. But that doesn't really fit in with any other books, so...

I guess Sunflash is a slow walker.

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

Hmm. Maybe, but I don't think so. *gasps* Fanfiction idea! Why did it take Sunflash so long to get to Salamandastron? Someone could write a story about it in which he gets delayed by some bad guys and there's an epic battle!

Sunflash was walking.  He knew he had places to be, but he was also very tired.  He decided to take a nap.  Multiple days passed before he woke and went on his way.

The End!

But really though, it does seem odd that he took so long.  Probably wasn't a direct route, if I had to guess.

*applauds Kade's effort* Well done for trying.

*claps* It could probably do with a bit more fleshing out but it works.
