Anyone got an idea how long it would take to walk 5 mile ? Will all be pavement walking , just
trying to figure out how much time to allow

    roughly 15 (4mph) to 20 (3mph) min per mile x 5

    It would depend on how many pubs I had to walk past, but 3-4 mph sounds about right for pavement walking

    Ha, this.

    3.5 miles takes me about 50 minutes at my leisurely pace, but that's a London leisurely pace (probably 4mph).

    Not sure what speed I'd end up walking carrying 22 stone :)

    If you have a smart phone you can download an app called Endomondo, it tracks your speed & route and tells you how many cals you've burned based on your age & weight.

    I'd allow yourself two - two 1/2 hours and just walk at a pace you're comfortable with, then you can try and beat that time next time you do it.

    Good luck!!

    I was thinking of walking to work in Manchester. So would need to allow
    time to shower and change when I get there too. Maybe I'll just practice
    distance walking first before I try walking to work. My thought was if it gets
    too much I can always finish the route off by bus :)

    Brilliant, that's exactly what I do. Saves loads of money too!

    I'd recommend walking home after work one evening when you don't have too big a time constraint. Time yourself and figure out your speed that way.

    And take an ipod / music device type thing with you - makes the whole thing so much nicer and quicker!
