On my commute to and from work I have fantastic open country roads to drive on I and may see a maximum of about 10 cars on my 5 mile journey, one way. I know I am very lucky to work so close to home.
How is your commute to work? |

Drive down a dirt track to a c classed road, then onto a B road after 20 minutes onto an A road then into work, Love the peace and quiet of living where we do. |

Depends on my start time. As a part timer my start time is different each day. Wednesday is my latest start. Yesterday it took me 55 minutes to get to work. Today I left home 15 minutes earlier and the journey was only 20 minutes! |

Retired and clock up on average 30,000+ miles per year as I love to drive and tour |

If I'm in the normal office its 45 minutes to an hour of motorway, don't tend to hit too many major issues.
If I'm at the production site (there at least one day a week) it's 90 minutes of gorgeous winding roads over the hills of North Wales. |

20 mins Country road. Can sometimes be busy as people avoid the A road with the same idea as me. Get stuck behind a bimbler and it will take longer but it’s a nicer journey so you drop back and chill. |

"Take me home..... "
That's totally where I was going with this 
I'm a bus wanker, sometimes it can take 10 mins, other times it can take an hour.
Hoping the bus arrives soon and it's a 10 minute jobby coz I'm practically touching cloth

Over half of our clients are in Birmingham city centre.
12 miles of M5 (15 mins) then 5 miles of the Hagley Road (lucky if that takes 45)
It's nice when we are popping to someone local for a change.  |

Up until the end of last year it was a 90 mile round trip on mostly fast roads. There were a few spots that could get awful traffic though and even without I resented the cost in time and money as well as the environmental impact. Now my commute is across the landing to the spare room. |

"25 miles which takes me anywhere between 40 minutes to 1 hour 20, depending on how idiotically people want to drive on the M1  "
1 hr 20 is a heck of a long time. Bet you hate the mornings that it's like that. |

"Love country roads. Went to Lake District on holiday last year and felt like Postman Pat minus the cat when driving."
We went to the lakes last year too.
Maybe the roads are the best thing about the place........
It’s definitely not the towns, that’s for sure |

You shouldn't go to the Lake District for the towns. You need to go and get onto the mountains, play on the lakes, experience the wild outdoors, go to the villages when it isn't peak season. Towns aren't the real Lake District. |

"Ahh. Read title and thought it was going to be a country and western thread... shame love a bit of country"
reminds me of a quote, from Dolly Parton, I think when someone asked her what music she liked and she said ‘both kinds, country and western’

That's a shame but if you didn't enjoy, no point in staying I guess  |
