Five minutes by bike. The last thing you want down at our wee harbour is a car that you need to find a parking space for!

Approximately 60 miles from the boat - 1hr 20 mins to get there depending on traffic.
If I recall correctly the maximum distance any one of us is from the coast in this green and pleasant land is under 70 miles ?

500 yards as the crow flies or 950 yards as the crow drives.

Less than 100 metres from the end of the garden to the dinghy. 10 minute walk - railway line in the way!
Then 100 metres in the dinghy,

From home, about 120 miles (including a ferry-crossing).
From holiday-home, about 400 metres.

Until a couple of weeks ago was 10 feet from the house in the garden.
Now about fifteen miles away.
Takes under half an hour if I travel at non commuting times and avoid the 'motorway outside lane owners' on their daily trip to and from Edinburgh via the forth bridge.

About 2.5 miles, takes about 35 mins to walk or 10 mins using the car. That's town roads for you.

So you live a long way from both work and boat. That's just perverse!
I'm 2.5 miles from the mooring as the crow flies but 3.5 miles by car or bicyle to the yard, 300 yards walk down the jetty and 300 yards in the dinghy!

100 miles or two hours if the M25 isn't being used as a car park. Worst so far 3.5 hours. Then half an hour to get the dinghy launched, loaded and reach the boat.

Gosh. A lot of you travel some distance, don't you? I don't think I could maintain enthusiasm. Especially with work that isn't that easy to plan around like Photodog.
I used to be able to see the mooring from the front door, but now the little boat is in the garden about 40ft from where I am sittingt, but I have to tow it to Windermere (couple of miles) or Coniston (14 miles to the sailing club). That's no hardship though. It tows well. In fact if the breeze doesn't fall away this afternoon I'll be doing just that.
