Is 20 minutes the standard answer to " how long does it take to walk into town"?. We have asked or just been told on many sites that it is just a 20 minute walk into town, to the shop etc. The latest one turned out to be 2.3 miles and approx 44 mintes. The best one was in Cornwall. About 4 miles and just over an hour......... Don't mind a walk but whay do they all say 20 minutes???????:Smile:

you,d soon complain if they said it,s 5 miles and well over an hours walk....:Doh:

20 minutes in is too far to turn round as it may just be another 5 mins away....or another 30 mins :Doh:

Fraid I wouldn't. Need to walk the dogs and at nearly 14 years old the eldest struggles for a couple of days if she has too long a walk. If I know what the walk is I can exercise the dogs then head off for a walk into town. Really don't mind a long walk but it's nice to know whats ahead.:thumb:

Have you not heard about google maps :ROFLMAO:

You can even walk the route virtually before setting off :thumb:

Just kidding. I said 15 Minutes from a site to pub to my friends. It took them half an hour and they whinged at me. Next night I walked with them and understood why. They dawdled and chatted and pointed stuff out to each other. Me? On the way to the pub I get a real stride on :ROFLMAO:
