Walk-tax?? Blue/Black box that clips to your belt, thread spools out the back.

 

Try Stanton Hope, I think they still do them. They can be a bit temperamental with the thread breaking sometimes. If you've got access to a GPS its probably easier to use that in this day and age. I've compared the two in the past and found them to be within 2% of each other, don't know which one is more accurate though.

A modern GPS will record your vertical climb (or descent) as well as distance travelled, but in truth I'm not sure how good it would be to get a true distance doing up and down through every gully.

 

Best bet would seem to be the Walk-tax. Mine came from Stanton Hope for about £80, plus spools of thread. I think they still do them.
