In the last edition of the journal we had just left Harold, a courier hired at the capital to run errands by carrying water and pears back to the castle from the Well and Storehouse.

After he collected his pay for the work involved he was curious as to how many fathoms he had actually ran
in the course of his travelling from each location.

We know he had worked for a total of three days,
and completed 33 trips each day.
We also knew the distances to each location ..

From the Castle to the Storehouse it was 165 Fathoms.
From the Castle to the Well it was 50 Fathoms.
Both could be reached in a straight line from
The Castle to the storehouse.

We also know when visiting the Storehouse Harold had left enough room on the cart to collect the Water from the Well on his return trip, thus not needing to visit the Castle and return to the Well at all; this meant the total distance was always 165 Fathoms.

165 times by 33, the amount of times he ran in a day equals 5,445 Fathoms. Times this over the three days and you get the figure of 16,335 Fathoms.

Don't forget however that 165 Fathoms was for just one trip, he would have to do this twice to get there and back.
This means we can double that figure to reach our total of:

32,670 Fathoms
Been the total distance he had ran over the three days.

So for the prizes?
Congratulations to...
