from http://blog.conservation.org/2010/09/ask-a-turtle-scientist/ -
"Turtle walking speeds have not received much study. The average walking speed of a land turtle/tortoise is somewhere under a mile an hour on a smooth level surface, but few tortoises walk for a long enough distance that it is meaningful to measure long-distance walking speed."
Do they walk an hour a day?
36500 miles
Two hours?
73000 miles.
Without giving more details, we can only estimate.
