The longest hack you have ever been on?

Me and my friend went on a four hour hack today and had a lovely time, exploring some new bridle ways and areas we had never ridden to before.

We kept it steady, and the horses loved it, I think it made my pony more alert hacking to a completely different area.
 
5 hours, D was still fresh and ready to go, she loves long hacks, I on the other hand was crippled even in my lovely comfortable saddle.
 
5 hours, me and horsey went for a sleepover at my best friends and we went on a hack and she wasn't really sure of the way so we got a bit lost and it took longer than expected, was great fun though!
 
When I was in Spain the daily rides were between three and five hours. Twas awesome and fittened me up no end! And it meant I could eat as much as I liked

Out hunting can be up to four hours so not that different.
 
As a teenager I'd ride for eight hours a day with a couple of breaks for lunch etc, we used to hack for miles and miles.

In the past few years 3 hours is about my limit as neither Fudge or I have been fit enough to do more.
