How long would it take a pair of inexperienced riders to travel by horseback from the Georgia coast (around Savannah) to Atlanta, with no paved roads?

This is a strangely specific question, I know. Imagine you couldn't use any existing road infrastructure, and you had a group of five horsemen, most of them inexperienced. How long would it reasonably take them to cross from Savannah to Atlanta (about 250 miles, according to Google maps)? How many miles could they cover in a given day, on average?
