You cannot compare walks on the number of houses, 1 walk I know only has about 380 max houses,another walker has about 540,wich is the eassiest walk ?
Its he amount of mail and packets a walk gets,the type of area,large detached houses long driveways ,spread out ,lots of people working from home ,lots of packets .Has it got steps on ,a real problem when wet as steps are slippery.
But some council areas or poor areas houses are divided into rooms so instead of 1 family living their could have many ,a nightmare when get council letters.
Other walks can be easy delivery wise but a nightmare to prep.

Seems like the easiset walks must be in Cornwall,to have so many adventures whilst out delivering and have time to write a book ,publicise it when in RM uniform
I need a transfer to cornwall ,where this womans walk is or was.!!

Just over 600 including summer savings.

All of them have annoying gates that open in/out/left/right in real order lol.

Takes about 3 hours to do it all, although if it's light it takes a lot less.

At the moment I'm doing nearly 800 - covering parts of other rounds as well as my own - normally finished by 1:30pm though (don't have to sort the other rounds luckily)
