Good question... I think it all depends on what is on either side. A 2.5m
lane through woods and open country can be a very pleasant experience for
miles. I rekon it gets a bit too long at about 13 miles without a pub. But
then again, if it is through blank walls of a housing estate aboy 10 metres
gats to be quite long enough.
All the best,
