How far do you travel to fish.

Now i live in Consett i travel 25-30 miles to the coast to fish and then return.
I know its not really a long way but when i lived in Hartlepool it was ten minutes.
Wondered what distance members travelled to sea fish.
 
I live in south shields and only have to travel 5 mins to get to some of the best fishing grounds in the north east, i have some excellent marks right here on my doorstep and i do fish them but i still travel miles and miles just to try different marks and fish comps all over the north east, like they saying goes "a change is as good as a rest". Best trip yet has to be the west coast of Ireland last year, and we went be car! Long way but worth it!
 
I have probably a 30-40 mile round trip to Seaton Carew or H/pool,more if I go to seaham or further north.:(
 
My carbon finger print thingy is the size of a big bloke with especially large fingers.......that have then been flattened by a steam roller. God knows what the Labour Govt will do to me should their thought police read this thread. 400 mile round trip, unless I then go fishing lol.
 
I also live in Consett, a few weeks ago I was travelling to the coast four times a week to fish, that is not including the trip that I usually did as a recce to suss out my mark and pick up my bait before my trip to fish.

Got to say that this year the recce was not as much of a help as previous years, that said it did sometimes pay off.
