Not exactly 'long distance' for many people, but, when we were 'courting',over 50-odd years ago, I used to walk from Dunkenhalgh, where we worked, up to Ossy, where Yvonne lived, on my nights off.... the return walk was often helped by a lift from the driver of the English Electric bus, officially laid on for the 6am shift workers!!
