How far will you travel to work?

[Aicchalmers]

Just interested in how far people here will travel to work, either on a commuting basis or whats the furthest you'll cover.

Starting to get a few offers of jobs and as of yet not got my own transport so I'm finding it difficult to get to any outwith the local area, so my furthest is about 10 miles (hours cycle) unless somebody can pick me up or I can get somewhere by train..

With a vehicle I can see it being better but can't really see myself travelling more than an hour each morning..

What about y'all?

Live in Huntly Aberdeenshire normally travel 1- 1 1/2hrs But have travelled to yorkshire, Campbletown, Hebrides and Orkney, some of these have been for only 15mins work on site.If the price is right will travel

Max I go is 30 mins

If it pays travelling costs and a decent wage I'll be there, even if it means a overnight stay

When i work for my mate doing generator/acoustic instalations(about 1 day a week on average) we go all over the place, tommorow we are going from hertford to warrington, about a 400mile round trip for hopefully 2 hours on site,, we have been working in redhill for a month, about 2 hours each way, that seems to be about average.

I do 25 miles each way.

 

Don't often go more than 60 miles away from home. Although if the money is right and some decent accommodation can be found i'd go anywhere for some good jobs.

To be fair though in the summer I'll travel 3-400 miles to festivals for work, but that's camping there.. For a full days work must take it out of you doing a lot more than an hour each way?

I did 86 miles each way for over a year on one project, you get used to it.

 

Get up early, get home late, lots of the London bods who train to work have the same hours. 6.30 start home at 19.00 hrs.

 

Now I like to be home at about 4.00 pm, life is too short to spend too long working.
