How long does your furthest delivery point take ?

Post by islfor »

I have a house situated over a mile up a mountain which has three gates, which you have to close on the way up & down because both fields have horses in. Then have to walk through another gate and walk to the house. In all it took me 9 minutes to deliver.

How long does Pegasus say it should take :chuckle :chuckle

Anyway 2 miles in 9 minutes would work out at about 12 mph, if I was you I would try to keep that very quiet :silenced

I believe the Pegasus speed for driving up and down country lanes is set at 5mph (although I agree that sometimes the maximum speed is usually too fast, I took the oil sump out at only 10mph along a country lane).
