I did as well and it came out as 12.3 miles but with loads of steps I think it was wrong - I tend to think its about 8.5 to 9

My god, I wish my walk could be don in under 3 hours let alone 1.139 :crazy: my average walk takes me 4 hours 15ish and thats at a very brisk walking speed, and my managers dont give a fu*k, when I try and cut off, I get a torrent of abuse from my DOM saying nobody else moans or cuts off and to just claim the overtime as postcomm sets rules, union is about as much use as a toilet brush with no bristles so I and everyone else on ridiculouse walks have to bite out lip and do it!. You have it easy if your walk is under 4 hours and trying hard IMO.

You really need to develop a thick skin, I'm usually the only one to cut off in my office :shock: just take enough to take you to your time and let the DOM cover everything else (let them test you and they'll know you're not taking the pee).
