Commute ?

[steve80]

Just out of curiosity, how far do you guys commute each day to work ?

Last Gig
50 miles each way (M1 Motorway) (~1hr)

Current Gig
35 miles each way (M1 Motorway(roadworks) + A roads) (1.15hr)

FWIW, i'm currently on an hours daily trip one way. Most other stuff has been a couple of hours away on a weekly trip.

I cycle 9 miles each way.

I walk up the stairs to my office. Plus a trip to London from the midlands once or twice a month.

Mines 30 miles one way but work from home 2 times per week.

Last couple have been:- fly half-way across UK, then walk 1-2 miles to the office,
Next one (touch wood) is a 15 mile drive from home.

Varies a lot depending where I am, but unless it's literally a one off meeting I keep my commutes under 1.5 hours. Any more than that and I'll stay over - spent last week doing 90 minutes each way to Manchester and was pretty bored of it by the end!

Currently a 25 minute walk to work. Must be noted this is a bit of an exception to me as generally two hour train trips seem to be the norm.

Enormously variable to me, I've had some gigs where I worked from home, my last few have been a case of drive 250+ miles to accommodation every week or two then a few mins stroll or drive to site.
I expect this to be the same for the gig I've just accepted although it looks likely that there may be a few days at home per week.
