is this a crazy idea... or do you think i could try it??

I wouldn't do it personally. I couldn't stand having people looking at me and asking if I was OK and wanted a lift to hossy etc. What happens if you need to go to the toilet on the way? It's not like you will have a lot of control over that with all that pressure and pain going on - it would be awful to get caught short in a public place whilst in labour. I also would want to conserve my energy for full on labour. Remember you can go into labour any time, day or night so it would not be very pleasant walking what is normally a 45 minute walk in the daytime in pitch black at a slow pace, stopping here and there to try and manage your pain. Could take a long time to get there. A car seems a much more sensible option.
