mine is over 20 miles away in one direction and 15 in the other,  I don't mind at all the traveling as most of it is in the sticks so nice and peaceful.   I also have work on my own doorstep but as for traveling 20 odd miles then it honestly don't bother me, well it mustn't do cos I enjoy it  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Probably my furthest day is about 12 miles from home.

The rest is within a 3 mile radius. The way I see it is that if its worth going for, then its all good

50 miles to go and do your round?madness!!you must spend a fortune on fuel as well as time lost through driving!surely you can get work nearer?most of mine within a 7-8mile radius.with some very compact work.

Furthest i go is 20miles along the coast . when i first started i fretted local mafia might take offence so i scatterd my round. these days i never even see them cleaning so i might draw in my work closer to me

Sad git that IO am, I just checked on multimap.  My furthest job is just over 19 miles away and the next furthest is 16.7 miles away.  Normally though, the bulk of my round is 15 miles maximum.  The more lucrative the job, the further I will travel.
