Unfortunately where I need to live and where I want to fish have rarely lined up. 90 mins has been about average and I'm fine with that.

Pond 1 - 20min drive on rural roads
Pond 2 - 40mins up the M20
As I do mostly overnighters, option 2 isn't an option on School nights

25 minutes for a club lake that to be honest id rather feeder fish for F1s and bream as had the carp i want and a lot of the carp fishermen on there are grumpy miserable sods most of them use fishing to get drunk and high as a kite which i want no part in.
1hr 30 for small syndicate hardest place I've ever fished but its so tranquil quiet and out the way its what i imagine carp fishing to be nice estate lakes hidden away by trees clear water to watch the fish and no shopping trolleys or drunken morons and as i fish during the week more often than not i only see 1 or 2 other people there

Few club waters that are within a few miles. Day tickets around 2 hours. My new syndicate is around 100 miles.

For me I'm based in Reading and have a huge expanse of waters within half hour from me so pretty lucky! Would probably travel an hour or 2 if needed.

My syndicate water is 3 miles from my house but I'm looking at another one which is not even half a mile away.......

i have 1 club water 5 mins away put the parking situation really puts me off so generally drive to my other club which is about 30mins away, but i would be willing to probs do an hour ish away for the right place!
3.5 hours but I usually do 3/4nighters so no problem. Love the lake. Nothing like it locally.
7 mins in the car to get to mine :-)
