I went on a hack 2 days ago on my friends tb. I've just measured the hack and the total distance we went was 5.3miles. No wonder I was walking like John Wayne the next day! I havent gone that far since I was a wee nipper.

The following website is for people who run but I find it good to zoom in and measure the route:

-For those who want to check how far they hack: bypass the bit where it says your are not logged in (you dont have to register) and click on 'locate' & type in the area and then 'start'.

It amazing how far you get when your having fun! I know how you feel i did the Newmarket ride - 20 miles -i was up on my knees out of the saddle for most of it and i physically couldnt walk for 2 days after! God only knows how those endurance riders manage 50miles + !
 
50+ miles! ...and here I am thinking 5 miles is long!

...and out of all the drivers who passed us, there was only one ar5ehole that didnt bother to slow down...even though I was clear to see in my hi-viz.

www.walkjogrun.net is another good website for measuring hacks.

Although my sister brought me a little gadget, that looks like a tippex mouse, to measure maps with. You just pop in the scale into the gadget, and then run it round your route - easy!

I find it fascinating how far we have been, and on walkjogrun you can put in how long it took you to find out your average speed

Just measured my favourite hack which I do on a sunday morning . Just short of 12 miles which takes about 2-3 hours. 3 hours if I take the wrong path in the woods lol
 
The shortest hack I do is just under 5 miles. Our inbetween is a good seven and a half and if we are venturing out for a big hack we will do prob about 15. But i love hacking and I think i keeps your horse looking good.
 
My usual one is 3 miles on my pony... but i exercise my friend's horse and my usual one with him is 5 cos its quicker as he has longer legs!! Little ponio has very short pony strides so takes ages!
