I know it is a bit of a stretch putting this into the travel section but here goes. Does anyone know a website where I might be able to find out how many miles a particular short journey would be? I know that the AA site does trip planner but my journey does not have a recognisable start or finish point ie it would just be along a random section of country roads. Hope this makes sense!
Print out a 'map' of your walk, get a bit of string or similar and use this to trace the walk. Hold length of string against the scale and voila, the length of the walk! It's not hi tech, but it works.
Use Google Pedometer. Type that into Google and it will come up, find your location on the map, or type in your place name, zoom in to the required level, and measure away. Very accurate, and interesting to look at the area from space (and into your neighbours gardens) - but all people are removed from the images. You can just have road map, a satellite image, or a combination of the two.
