With all the onions and garlic I thought the IQers were looking for vampires.

Stiltpeople are an amazing subset of our population. Just recently, the Savannah Bananas' stiltman made his first run home.

[@ShortMan_123]

30 odd miles a day for 2 months on bloody stilts is remarkable going

[@decodolly1535]

1,830miles in 58 days is approx 32 miles per day. On stilts. Eat your heart out, Eddie Izzard!

[@Altinget]

But each step would be much longer than normal, so stilts may be an advantage both in distance and speed. (Meep meep.....wrooooom) 🦩

[@vladd6787]

Leyland's 6 mile Southof Preston ...... We never had stilts
We did have LOTS of busses
But Corgis with a machine fetish weren't allowed near 'em

[@dravmtp385]

Paris to Moscow: only 1,830 "puny english miles". So short a distance, yet when any army tries to acomplish the same thing most of continental europe ends up dead.

[@paulsengupta971]

Leyland?

[@Kalma2277]

Les Landes

[@kingman.mp4]

Perhaps Jeremy Clarkson should try this

[@MrCurtiswhit1234]

Are the sheep on stilts? Insert spyro the dragon here.

[@TonyBongo869]

I wouldn’t need a stick….ahahahaha….I’ll show myself out

A place to surrender.
