Maximum length of individual bursts.

Post by Pat Ostman »

On park and loop, is their a known maximum length to a burst. I have noticed some of ours go up to an hour in length.

Even with trollies this can potentially cause problems with available space. Yes you can half a loop and start cutting off due to lack of time but just wondered if anything was on paper about lengths.

Packets, mail and D2Ds all take up space.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

I don't think there is a maximum but it is recommended that a loop with a lwt should be 40 mins and 20 mins with a small pouch
