How far do you walk in a week?

If I Google about walking, the searches turn up lots of recommendations. 10,000 steps a days seems to be a popular goal. In the big scheme of things I don't walk very much as I drive to work from my doorstep to the office. I walk into town to do my shopping etc but it's not far
The last couple of years I have been doing 'walks' in other words walks as in defined walks not just because I have to get from a to b. What's surprising is when I'm out walking along public footpaths, which are aren't in the middle of nowhere by any means, I see a few cyclists and the odd dog walker, but sometimes I don't see anyone!
So my question is how many miles do you walk in a week? I realise that people who walk ten plus miles a week are far more likely to reply than those than walk one or less miles a week.

I just love being out and about, it makes me feel so alive. I quite often plan a good 20k run, I sleep well those nights. ( I use K's as it sounds better than miles) 3 miles or 5K lol.
My Cardiologist tells me 3 miles a day is good to keep my heart in good condition.
Quite pleased really because I've had to cut back on walking this week with some pain in my left foot, but I got through today OK........:)
An average delivery takes between four and four and a half hours, so don't know how many miles that is
We also love coastal path locations for short breaks.
Wandering around town probably adds another couple of miles.
A weekly 1 mile round trip to the supermarket makes 9 miles.
I'm about 0.2 miles from work, which adds 0.8 miles per day, so an extra 4 miles (which feels ridiculous as it takes literally 5 mins to get to/from work).
13 miles then, by the looks of it, currently.
Starting next week I'll be walking 2 miles per day as I start walking to new offices for work. , which would add 6 miles to my total, bringing up me up to 19 miles.

So all in all going on for 40 miles I reckon.
I do walk a lot, though, which annoys me. About six miles' worth per day. In my ideal world, it'd be a mile per day. Even better if less.
Seriously, I've got a car, why would I want to walk ?
