Hi,
I'm just getting started and hope to hide a letterbox in my area
soon. I've read about how people write clues and I have one point of
contention. I was trained as a forester and now work in survey. We
were always taught that a pace was 2 steps or everytime one of your
feet touch the ground. It's always seen that as a standard among
professionals who use pacing as a part of their job. I've calibrated
mine and have used it sucessfully to cruise timber in remote areas
around the country. To a professional a "step is just a step." A
pace is two (2) steps. I will be using my definition of a pace when
I set the box and I'll explain it in the clue document.
I welcome your imput.

I also agree with you on the definition of a pace. It seems different for
some people but I think that as long as we are all responsible enough to
define in our clues as to what we are referring to as a pace, that would be
fine.
