first thing we gotta realize, westeros ain't that damn big
it took king robert 1 month to go from king's landing to winterfell.. and that's with a huge entourage and going slow so they stay together, stopping to hunt, rest, bathroom, etc etc.. i figure someone riding alone on horseback could do it a lot faster
lord bolton told ramsey that he could look 600 kilometers and they'd still be in the north.. thats only 372 miles.. which is exactly the distance from new york city to richmond virginia.. a 5 and a half hour drive
he also says the north is bigger than the other 6 kingdoms combined... so lets just say they are equal.. that's 1200 km or 745 miles... that's nyc to south carolina... 11 hour drive
so that sailing across the narrow sea ain't that damn far if you look at the scale of the map.. shyt that distance between dragonstone and kings landing is just a little ride... there's only the bay in between them. you can see how euron would have caught them by surprise.. he was leaving out right when they were and they had no idea he was even over there.
matter of fact, yara was right... they could have just stacked the armies and ran up over there and won the battle in a week. shyt like 45 miles away. instead they sail past it, all the way to dorne, attack casterly rock which is all the way on the other side of westeros, and pick up more people in high garden which is also on the other side, plus more south.
He says miles not kilometers...
700 miles that way, turns around and says 400 miles that way, so that's 1100 miles north to south...that's like going Portland to San Diego. Then says 300 miles that way, presumably East or west. Seing that Theon had just got them Moat Cailin at the time I presume they were standing close to there which is near the center, so 600 miles east to west.
All of Westeros from the wall to Dorne is closer to the distance from Seattle to the tip of the Baja Peninsula.
don't do this to yourself breh.
