I'm lucky that my plot is nearby & doesn't involve a car. And it's always a high point, since I've just spent a while at one of my favourite places... & am hopefully heading home to a glass of wine & some pasta! If you'd like to see what my cycle home is like there's a video clip on today's posting on my blog site below.

So what's the trip home for you like? Is it a few steps and you're there, or do you have some way to travel? What kind of scenary do you pass by?

Looks like a nice ride home. I usually go in the car. Only a couple of minutes' drive but it's downhill on the way and uphill on the wayu back which makes the journey home hard work by bike after a couple of hours on the plot! Not a very interesting journey either, past the brewery, police station, fire station,only the last bit up to our house is pleasant countryside.

Thankfully just few minutes walk, as it's along a busy main road with blocks of flats either side.

As it's over the back fence I just pop through the rose arch... :)

a walk, past a pub, down a footpath round the corner, home! 10min!

Depends if you pop in the pub or not, can you get the slops for the slugs? ;D

Lucky man Saddad - I am three miles away from my plot.
Journey home (normally car) is pretty much like any three miles of London with the exception of the Jamican barbeque chicken cafe halfway home. Heaven help you if you have built up an appetite on the plot - it smells fantastic! MMmmm chicken...

I walk two streets and then a nice walk by the river Witham.

The lottie is behind the fence!

The transport! ;D

Down my road, turn left, over the traffic lights, into the park, first left and I'm there!
I could walk it in 5 minutes but by the time I've finished on the plot I am too tired so I go in my car. That's my excuse anyway.

15 minutes by car, not too bad, we go past farms and things ;D

A good 20 mins car ride away. We do have allotments 5mins walk away but the soil is very heavy whereas the plot we have to ride to is lovely and light.

tonybloke · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2009, 23:56:16 »

about 450 yds of level walking from plot to door. ;)

My lottie walk takes 1 mins along a main-ish road then up a steep stony track through a tunnel of trees. Along the main road I look out over the Tamar almost all the way to Plymouth, the scenery is to die for. I love my walk both there, and (usually knackered and laden) back home, God's own county this!!

5 minute walk
Out the door turn left
Top of the road turn right
Dodge the dogs nuts
Past the shops
Across THE ROAD
THROUGH THE PARK
OVER TO THE RIGHT AND BINGO
;D ;D ;D

1 mile walk away we walk sometimes and sometimes take the car if we have alot to bring back with us.
its just one street with houses nothing pretty :)

SMP1704 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 05, 2009, 22:21:49 »

10 mins if I walk slowly - out of the main gate and through the churchyard, turn right along the river and two pubs, through the square, across the green and past another pub and Chinese restaurant, past the bakers and hardware shop, right and first right - home ;D

If I drive, it's much the same except quicker. Sometimes the road outside the Church floods when there is a high tide, so that can make the drive home a bit more exciting.......
