How far have people been travelling in lockdown?

I’m so sick of walking around my village. How far have others been travelling for a change of scene? 3 miles, 5, 10 or just stayed at walking distance?

I'm seriously considering doing a 300 mile round trip to the funeral of a relative I didn't even like, just for the change of scenery Grin

Since lockdown, I've driven 7 miles (each way) for a change of scenery - a trip to the beach with DDog, 40 miles for family stuff, and 85 miles for a work thing.

A couple times a week I drive to walk the dogs on a beach about four miles away; take my son to work about six miles away once a week; drive about 12 to collect one of my employees every other week and to the shops 2-5 miles about once every ten days (or tag it on to one of the other trips).
I have driven 70 miles once to view houses as we are moving. There are plenty of days I don't leave the house at all.

3-5 miles.

I’ve stayed within walking distance of home. If I have to go further afield for work I sometimes walk in my lunch hour wherever I end up.
