I only walk 500 metres to my allotment. I know some people have to travel by car. Just wondered who travels the furthest distance. How far before it becomes a chore......

12 mile bus journey to the allotment.
2.5 mile walk up a mountain road to the other piece of land I use, sometimes get a lift but it's only accessible in a 4x4 which limits who I can ask to drive me up there.

I can cycle there in 5 minutes, through the park, or walk in about 10 minutes. I just love being so near and would move nearer if possible. Some lucky people actually live in the next roads or backing onto the allotment and the playing fields which back onto the allotments. So it is a lovely peaceful place and just outside north London.

We have 2 plots which are 5 miles away and half a plot within 10 min walk which we are giving up in Oct cos the ground is to hard compared to the others. We ain't gettin any younger are we. lol

Not very far at all (lucky us) just a hop and a skip through the cul-de-sac and we are there although after a couple of hours work we have been known to crawl back! ;D Hel.xxx.

I live in the corner of the allotments so the grass is my garden and the cultivated land is my lottie which is great when its looking good but its always looking at you when it needs weeding or its wet and you just want to get out there !!

5 min drive. If I backed onto plots like some do I would have an IR cam to record vandals and thieves!

I have a 15 min drive to my allotment... i wish it was nearer, but there are none available. And as we can have no sheds on our plot, i have to take everything with me.... have a folding chair and table for coffee/tea breaks.... very civillised....sort of!

cornykev · « **Reply #16 on:** August 04, 2008, 19:14:34 »

3 to 4 min walk. ;D ;D ;D

I reckon Baccy Man gets the prize for endurance and Tim gets the booby prize for being easy peasy and maybe Saddad as runner up ;D

Sparkly · « **Reply #18 on:** August 04, 2008, 20:59:52 »

5 min walk... Also 5 minutes drive if we have to take stuff with us as you have to go the long way around in the car.

elvis2003 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 10, 2008, 18:00:54 »
