    I'll try
    the fastest he could travel would be 2mph. Now if you want to know how long it would take---- that's another story

    My Guess
    Going 2 miles an hour would make it 1500 hours to get there, giving 9 hours of sleep he would only have 15 hours a day to travel...that would give him 100 days to travel to make the destination.
