With a group of at least two and a half million people, including the elderly, sick and pregnant, as well as baggage, cattle and other paraphernalia, this could be a little ambitious. A project manager would tell you of the difficulty of arranging camping sites for each stage (complete with latrines and cooking facilities), obtaining and distributing the millions of gallons of water needed every day, and the difficulty of having people strung out across camp sites, each the size of a major city of the time. Rather than try to complete the journey in the shortest possible time, you would manage it to ensure the least confusion and loss of life. Such a move would probably require several weeks.
