Miles covered on the rural...

[Bahia Feliz]

139 miles but just over half of that is driving to the first call and returning from the last so the actual miles done delivering is only about 65 miles.

So it's over 30 miles to your 1st drop,what county are you in?

its 22 miles to first drop and 50 miles return from last drop.rural northumberland has quite a few duties that do lots of miles, i believe that mine is average. i know of some that do up to the scottish border are probably nearer 200 miles.

120 miles is our longest, mine's around 100.

120 miles means 24 mph for finishing within five hours, so can't be many delivery points to hinder their progress then.

Measure it today, 109 miles in total. All ours include driving to office then out to first call and then home. Mine would be about 80 odd from first call to last.

they certainly are.i have been really lucky moving up here,all the years i spent trudging the streets of surrey delivering to miserable gits who looked at you like you was something nasty stuck to the soles of their shoes.
i really feel for the modern day posties who do town walks,i really could not go back to it.
