Re: how long is your walk
Just think all this hype about mail being 10% down
There's around 40,000 less dealing with it !!!
No wonder the oldies reckon pouches are getting heavier !!

Re: how long is your walk
Is this from leaving and returning to the office ? Most days it takes me about 4:15 including travel to and back Plus about 30 mins lapse on top of that 
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: how long is your walk
Same here, Pegasus put my walk at 3hrs 30ish but it's more like 2hrs 40 at a steady walk - 2hrs 10 if I really get a move on. All the walks in my office take a lot less time than Pegasus/Georoute put them at, i'm assuming we had a decent set of planners.hooniebagoonie wrote:Georoute/Pegasus says my walk is 3 hours and 17 minutes and as far as im concerned thats good enough for me...i wont quibble over the 30 minutes difference to what it actually takes........cos i can actually do it without running around in 2 hours 45 LOL
happy days and i feel sorry for all those getting slaughtered
How big are the frames for these 6hr walks?

Re: how long is your walk
It's only about 700 houses and about 50 businesses but lots of double slots but because it's a rural it does take time driving around, which is not taken into account.OnAFlyer wrote:Same here, Pegasus put my walk at 3hrs 30ish but it's more like 2hrs 40 at a steady walk - 2hrs 10 if I really get a move on.

How big are the frames for these 6hr walks?That's 2 of our walks put together and you'd literally have to walk up and down the frame to put the mail in

Re: how long is your walk
it ranges from 4 hrs to 5hrs depending on the volumes of mail ... on a average day it is about 4 hrs 20 minutes
