7 miles and 10 minutes to the depot, then 78 miles and 1 and a half hours to my 1st drop of the day

It has been known for the drive back to the depot to take anything upto 9 hours though

breakfastinsmethwick · 29th March 2016, 18:46

70 to 80 in miles per day at present in total.

7 miles there and 7 back. I don't travel during rush hour so it's about 20mins as the speed limit is 40. I used to travel 13 miles into Derby and that only took 10 mins longer as long as the A38 was clear.

Today's commute was a drive up to Kettering, and then on to York ready for tomorrow's work.

Around 250 miles and the 75 is the best and most relaxing car I've had so far for doing the job.

About 2 minutes (by car) up the road.

And yes, I drive

Non at all now I'm retired..
But when I worked in the holiday park business I lived on the park so I stepped outside and I was at work so zero commute.. Problem was of course that I was always at work !!!
I think the record was 5 attempts at eating dinner before I gave up and put it in the bin.
Cheers

5 miles each way, it takes about 8 minutes.

Much of it is alongside the Moray Firth. Lovely beaches and waves crashing over the rocks

But if it makes you feel any better, I did spend decades commuting in and around London ............ and metal rusts like hell around here.
