How far for a test?

How far have you travelled or would you travel to get a test?

DS has a cold/temp so needs a test. There was nothing available first thing but I have just had another look and was offered a test centre just over an hour away. DS is feeling rubbish and we could really do without a 2 hour trip in the car. I am hoping for something nearer so will keep trying.

Wondering what others experiences are.

We drove 57 miles on Tuesday for a test, would have been 30 but there are road closures in the area with a massive diversion route! So we did a 114 miles round trip - worth it though as the test results were back within 24 hrs, we would have had to wait much longer for postal results.

After trying all day I was able to book one this evening for tomorrow just 12 miles away, Definitely worth keep trying.
