What I did (since I don't trust my strides to be even enough for accuracy with a pedometer) was to drive along my usual walks, checking the mileage on the car's counter. (Is it called speedometer? That doesn't sound right - I've forgotten the English word!) Then I knew how much time I needed for that distance, approximately, and now I usually estimate on that basis. That's close enough for me. If in doubt, I give myself a bit less - after all, that doesn't mean I don't have the benefit of the exercise.
