It's only about 3 miles but it takes about 15 minutes cos the roads are so tiny!

15 minutes but when they re-open a road that's been closed due to a new housing estate being built it'll only take 10.

If I get a lift, about 10 minutes. But by bus, including walking from my house to the bus stop, about 20-25 minutes.

10 mins by car. Previous yard was 35 minutes by car, which was a total pain as work was 40 minutes in the other direction.

Now mine are at my work is about 4 mins away on a good day - if there is something on at the 3 counties and i time it wrong it can take 15!!
When they were at the other field it was 2mins away from work, if i was going straight there it was still 4 mins though!
I used to bike there last summer and it would take me 20mins there and 15mins back :lol: Its all uphill on the way there!!

Currently 30-40 mins depending on traffic, or I can go on the ferry and the total journey takes 20 mins.
Soon to be 10 minutes though, can't wait!

In the winter (when the tourists aren't about!) it takes about 10 -15 minutes. In the summer it can take anything up to an hour!!!!

I keep Doris at my friends place up the road and it takes me 3-5 minutes in the car, depending on traffic.
I can walk it in about 20 mins so it's good in emergencys, eg when I'm snowed in and can't get the car out.
