Val, do your maps have a scale? If not, the best thing to do is look up some key distances (i.e., Hobbiton to Buckland) in Karen Wynn Fonstad's work (the Walk to Rivendell part of the main BD site might work) and mark how many inches or centimeters that is on your map. Then measure the distances you need to find (at least as the crow finds), and do some number crunching (set up two equal proportions of distance in miles vs. distance on map).

For humans, covering 30 miles a day on foot is pretty standard. You might want to cut that down for hobbits, though.
