In the "What is your local?" thread many people talk about the pubs and bars within walking distance of home. We come from a wide range of places and probably have a wide range of fitness, so I'd like to ask what does "walking distance" mean to you? My local pub is a mile away and I consider that easy walking distance. From my office to the town centre is about 1.5 miles so a 3 mile round trip to the post office is walking distance. I'll sometimes do a small pub crawl when the weather is nice hitting 4 pubs and covering about 6 miles. This one I consider a bit of a hike.
