Found these walking speeds.

Post by celerycelery »

This is from 2008 georoute pamphlet on walking speeds....
Walking 6.44kmh
HCT. 5.98
LWT. 6.11

These drop for undulating areas and also steep areas.

Anyone know if these are used still today?

Might as well be, my office had it's revison years ago and isin't getting another for the foreseeable future.


For anyone who thinks 6.44kph is easy, put it on a treadmill and then walk on that for a while.

That's the 4 mph that Royal Mail then denied it was using. If I remember correctly, they came up with a number of excuses, especially after the ex-Royal Marine tried doing it on Watchdog (or something), but as we all know, they just carried on regardless.
