It means an indication of the number of residences delivered to, and might be at least as interesting as some of the other threads on this forum.

I have only just found this thread and I must point out that if IB are watching anyone responding with accurate figures or descriptions of their walk, then you have just given them the sort of information they are looking for. If they are trying to ID you you have just save them loads of work.

Sorry ashadd this might kill your thread but why the interest though.

Mine is 584 drops but we do have larger walks one at 740 and the other 820 there are walks that are just 400 so i can only really give you what i have learned mine has loads of firms on which on a bike is abit of a pain it's a bulky walk always has been never been able to get it quite in on time i take over weight bags all the time and i try not to hang about but it can take 4.5 or abit more because of the packets,the walk with 820 drops has alot of flats but the person on it has never stopped moaning which ever walk they are on and never finishes it never takes an over weight bag it has been tested the walk can be done in 3.5 hrs but the bag drops are the problem the 740 odd walk has never worked even when it was smaller it's to far out got to much on it and is bulky worse than anything i have on mine but he never moans just keeps on going but when you look at the rural delivery's they are having so much fun a bulk of them get back way before time and go hide the keys on top of the wheels and skip out,the later drivers come in pick up all the gear and drop them in come up with some bull s*** to why they are handing some one's keys and log in so it is abit hard to judge all,the town bike duty's are way over, firms not to bad but some are bad HCT duty's some are crap some are really taking the p** the rural's well some are abit wide of the mark but an awfull lot are really taking the mick!,i think it is down to where it is and what sort of area you are in to what really affects the work load to how long a walk will take the more bulk then the more bags you get and if your bag drops are in the wrong place then that will cause problems i think this is why they are moving onto vans but it is quite clear that it will not work in alot of the walks we have because you would never be able to fit all of the gear in the vans.

Its just that i have a 540 drop walk,i dot the i and cross the t and i just cant seem to do it in the time allocated, i am cutting off,and or leaving mail in the office, its should be walk tested soon......i hope. The prep time takes forever,i am not slow, i start on time ,last to leave the office and dont book ot, but if i am struggling with my paltry 540 average sized walk , how does everyone else cope with some of the ball breaking 900 plus walks?

thats why i am curios....
Can the ib id you on here ? if so how?

805 drops quite hilly but I can normally do it in tme because its quite compact with hardly any gates or drives, the problem I have is the indoor work take metwice as long to throw out and prep than most others

I've only got just over 400 drops BUT yesterday my distance travelled (I measured using satnav on my phone) at nearly 17 miles

So number of calls is really irrelevant to how big a walk is.

One mile cycle to first post.
5.5 miles of walking/looping

some parts hilly so bike more of hindrance eg need lamp-post to keep it upright.
Takes four and a half hours.

I have XXX delivery points (IB have already visted me on delivery and given me a pat on the back) and the duty behind me has less delivery points but gets about 50% more mail than me.

The difference is my delivery is a much reduced area in terms of how affulent it is compared to the duty behind me. I therefore assume that is the reason for the differences in mail levels?
