"A furlong is a measure of distance within Imperial units and U.S. customary units. Although its definition has varied historically, in modern terms it equals 660 feet or 220 yards, and is therefore equal to 201.168 metres. There are ten chains in a furlong and eight furlongs in a mile." -wikipedia
"a league (an obsolete unit of distance of variable length (usually 3 miles)) "- http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=league

so one leagure is about 24 furlongs
