Two and a bit miles in 15 mins?

'kin 'ell Rob, how fast do you walk? You'd beat Paula Radcliffe to the piss oil at that pace.

Nearer to half an hour I'd have thought?

The Station before Scunny, near the bridge over the Trent at Gunness is nearer to the ground than Scunny station

You never heard of a power walk?  Tsk, I'm embarrassed for you, BST.

Power walk? I'm visualising summat closer to Benny Hill chasing a bevvy of Lincolnshire's most nubile offerings through the suburbs of Scunny.
