One of our walks has 1080 drops, it's all flats and is a piece of piss, taking less than 2 hours.

620 drops, mixture of shops, businesses and residential. One business gets a full tray off letters to itself everyday not including flats. Its a ball ache to throw off. full of two adresses to a slot and a heavy one to deliver.
