how far do you travel? DIY only

7 miles from home, takes no longer than 15 minutes, and 20 minutes from work. Not ideal but nicest yard. I have lots of yards very near me but they have very restricted turnout and I wouldn't want that for my horse.
 
6 miles from home, but under 3 from work. It can take 40 minutes to get home if something's happened on the M1 or M25, it all merrily backs up to our back roads.
 
I was doing a 10 min drive but it is now a 5 minute walk . Makes a huge difference as I am always tight for time.

I would really struggle at the moment with more than a 15 minute journey unless I could get assisted diy and only do 1 trip a day.
 
My first yard (for 4 years) was 20mins away from home, but on the way to work. It was assisted so I only went once during the week, and had lots of helpful people and an on-site owner who was always happy to chuck in a pre-prepared haynet etc if they were in during bad weather. After I had my daughter though I changed to one that was in walking distance and about 4mins by car, which made a huge difference even though it was full DIY. I don't think I could set a maximum, as it depends so much on the yard and your lifestyle at the time.

I now have them at home! (sorry, new so not quite sunk in yet).
