Schmendrick, I can walk 3 1/2 miles at least in an hour, and though I walk very briskly, my stride length is certainly closer to hobbit-sized than to Elven! What I did though, to check the distance, is drive my favorite stretch once by car and watch the counter. If I put a new battery in my bike's counter, I could use it to double-check distances as well.
