Furthest account is 9 miles, but 3 miles further on from where I'm working anyway...

Other than that, all within 5 miles.

We cover a radius of about 20 - 25 miles from base but as we are on the east coast all of our travelling is either north, south or west.  Mainly north and west.

Ours is all within about 3 miles of the coast and about 25 miles end to end.

Today our total mileage was 21 miles and yesterday it was 8. It's very rare we do more than about 25 miles.

We do average of 54 miles a day, but all my work is compact when we get there.

My round's are between 7 and 13 miles from home, and once a month I have a day's work 30 miles away.

All work within two miles except one contract every three months which is twenty miles away but worth travelling to.

From 2 - 30 miles
If the job pays well then i think it's worth the travelling.

My furthest job is 12 miles but most of it is within 8 miles.  If the money is right, I am prepared to travel much further.  I've even been into central London before for a very well paid one (30 miles).

most of my work is on my door step. I can actually walk to half of my round from my house!
But the furthest away is about 8 miles, but well worth the journey.
My father travels 30 miles for most of his round!

About 6 miles for me, but the chap that I sold my surplus pointer to last week, travels just over 30 miles to his patch, each day!

The majority of my work's within a 10 mile radius, but I live in a fairly depressed area.

So, I've picked up about 7 days a month that's 40 miles away. But once I get there the work
is extremely compact. They also pay considerably more than local customers.

So all in all it's worth the travel and as a bonus I get to listen to Neutral Milk Hotel to get
my day off to the best possible start.

Most, 15 mile radius.
Once a month about 60, round trip.
I don't like working on my doorstep.
