A kame is a glacial terrain feature: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kame They are commonly found along the margins of glacial valleys where melt water moved debris. Actual length varies from short to long (note the conveniently vague distances <grin>) and depends on the size and length of the glacier(s) that was associated with the kame formation. They may be associated with modern glaciers or remnants/evidence of long gone glaciers.
Simon didn't mention whether he crossed the width or length of the kames <grin>, leaving that to the reader's imagination and allowing for growth over time as the legend develops.
