how far away

[loribear]

hi all i noticed on another thread that julz was from up my end, & i'm from NE derbyshire, & was wondering if there was any other poor person who lived as far away as me or further, from the broads ? lori

from liverpool

Think its about 225 miles from my little corner of Cheshire.

The journey home always seems worse and more painful than the journey there though!

 hi dan i know what you mean, it's always a real heart wrench to leave the broads, î‘

256 miles 5.5 hours, unless co pilot falls asleep! 1st 175 miles in 2,25 hours then the A17!!!!! followed by the A47.

Takes 4 hours to the boat in Cambs why are we moving to the Broads?

'Cos we are.

I have a car that will do 175mph but prefer the boat that will do 9mph down hill, but then again can get to the boat quicker!

31 March a 19 year dream starts, our OWN boat on the Broads!

The ducks will now be safe from shmbo throwing last of the bread with venom on the last night of hiring.

We live about 250 miles away in East Dorset, and if we`re really lucky and have a completely trouble free journey, about 5-6 hours driving. We usually go on a friday night to kent first and stay with my dad for friday night and do the last 120-130 miles on the saturday morning. This year however, we`ve got a friday boat, so it`s going to be driving straight to the yard, so it looks like being up at 6 and leave at 7, but we`ll probably get stuck on the m3, m25 and a12. so i will be more than happy to get to rosie leas for lunch.

Compared with previous posts, I think I must be fairly lucky - I only have a journey of 3hrs 20 mins from Guildford in Surrey. That is with the provoso that the M25, A 12 etc are reasonably clear. Brian J.

hi big dave just curious to know, why do you put blackpool11 when you come from liverpool ?

[loribear]

hi all it's alright for some is'nt it, it usually takes us about 3 1/2 hours, because my hubby's so cautious of all the cameras they keep putting up, which is a real pain.

Usually 3 hours from Crawley West Sussex 169 Miles...

212 miles for me

[Guest]

Used to be 200 miles till we moved. Now 10 minutes to Wroxham

[Baz]

Roughly 2 1/2 hrs, and approx. 130 miles from RM18, depending of course on how the A12,A140, and A47 perform. When I eventually have to leave Stalham, I will admit, it's a bit of a wrench.

You lot are making me feel guilty!!!!

I am only 5 mins away,3 min if the traffic is kind,I would consider a move but I cannot get much closer

However it is nice to get away on holiday elsewhere in the UK

[Guest]

156 miles, 3 hours ish from South Yorkshire, I hate the A17 and A47.

[555tc]

3.5-4.5 hrs from S.Manchester via Chesterfield, Mansfield, Newark, then the usual A17,A47 problems!!!

[Guest DAYTONA-BILL]

So what`s wrong with the A17/A47 then?. I thought it was only the M25 that was a pain in the ****

[RumSwizzle]

About 3,600 miles

[goodall_m1]

About 3,600 miles

That is the record so far!

[Guest]

About 3,600 miles

You may find it quicker to be based on the southern broads. Much closer. ..... and a little bitty colder!

[Jim]

90 miles and 2 hours (only takes an hour and a quarter to reach the A47 from here and after that its the local lanes that take the time)

Oh, if SWMBO drives, it takes about an hour an a half

[RumSwizzle]

Door to Door I reckon it could be done in 11-12 hours....

25 mins drive to the airport...

Arrive 1 hour before flight

6.5 hours Bermuda to Gatwick

30 mins to grab bags and hire car

3 hours drive from Gatwick

Yeah, 12 hours is definitely do-able. Would be pretty at the end of it though !

Will be doing it for real (although not that quickly !) in June - can't wait !

[Guest]

150 miles for me and about 20 times a year so about 6000 miles a year.
