Some estimates say this distance could be as low as 1000 miles, because in the show Cersei says Winterfell is a thousand miles away (which is very similar to the distance from Dragonstone to Eastwatch), so let's use this as the lower limit. Using the wikipedia page on homing pigeons, I apply the same speed of 50mph to the Raven.Īssuming the same raven could go the whole distance (multiple sources claim this to be impossible), and it could go that long without stopping, it would take 39.573 hours (or 1 day and 15 and a half hours). Using this map and the scale they provide, I calculated the distance from Eastwatch to Dragonstone to be ~1,978.65 miles. When Jon tells Gendry to leave it is still daylight out, and when heĪrrives it is night, and he is exhausted, so the most it took is aĭay, though he could also have started running at dusk and arrivedĮarly in the morning, so the lower limit will be his time ofĮxhaustion (let's use median marathon times) Easily done in ~three days, allowing for better calculation for the rate of freezing of the water. If we take a Dragons airspeed to be around 200mph it would do the return flight in 5 hours. This would cut down travel time to about 2 days of raven flight (at 50mph with rest). If we take the 500 miles per day, and the fact that white Ravens can fly from Old Town to Winterfell, it's possible a Raven can fly to Dragonstone from Eastwatch directly. There are theories it can be done in ~3 days. Such as the hot springs which exist naturally in the north (Winterfell's walls, Ygritte and Jon's cave) may have slowed the freezing of the water. But bearing in mind that the Ice was thin in the first place there might be something that was preventing the water from garnering thickness very quickly. It was likely closer to -30˚C to -40˚C which I guess would make the ice freeze twice as quick. As 10˚F is around -12˚C and doesn't seem that cold for Gendry to be crying about the freezing cold weather. This gives us about 5 days of total travel from Gendry running to the Dragons arriving. Whether wingspan changes speed is unclear but big birds tend to be quicker than small birds. Given the size of the Dragons, this seem possible as a normal hawk is able to fly around 70mph. The user approximated around 125mph for a Dragon with a rider.Dany and her dragons likely took around 8 or so hours to fly to "Snow team 6".
This gives us about 3 days of raven flight if we take the 500 mile per day cap set by the users in the discussion above. The show claims it to be about 1000 miles from Winterfell to King's Landing (according to the user). It's about the same distance from Winterfell to Kings Landing as it is to Dragonstone.

Gendry running at full speed would require about 4 hours to cover a significant amount of ground.Furthermore sticking to higher altitude so they would have that over their opponents (As they end up looking down at the wights in the canyon). This means they would likely be travelling in a zig-zag type of walk to cover as much area as possible. They were searching for the Army of the dead, and specifically a lone wight or, as they ended up finding, a small party of wights. The Seven (/Twelve with the additional rangers) likely weren't travelling in a line straight north.I've broken down their answer but provided a link to the original just above. The user estimated it to be around 5 days based on growth rate of ice, the air speed of an unladen swallow raven, and approximation for distances and dragon speed. A user on reddit did some calculations claiming it was accurate.
