How remote is you farm?

[Grassman]

Was thinking earlier how remote some farms are.
We have a 5 minute journey to supermarket, doctor, school, takeaways and nearest farming neighbour.
10 minutes to engineering facilities, hydraulic hose repairs and lots of industrial supplies.
20 minutes to agricultural supplies.
30 minutes to a city centre.
But then I look at other farms and they are an hour or so away from anything! Must be nice in some respects but difficult at times!
How remote is yours?

 

[Skintagain]

2 miles from fuel station. 2 miles to a pub 2 miles to local farm co op 2 miles to post office 2 miles to my parents farm

5 miles to feed mill

10 miles to nearest city

I don’t think I would want to be any more remote or any closer

Not remote enough!

Village shop and pub 2 miles.
Small town 5 miles. Supermarket 7 miles.

Quite rural as I’m only 60 miles from London.

Just enough.

 

[Kidds]

Pub 10 min walk (different village)

[davieh3350]

Back to work next month in Iceland. Nearest neighbour 35 minutes drive away, town is an hour and ten minutes away.
cut off for a day or two quite regularly with snow.
plenty folks about as he has a hotel, but when it’s quiet it’s quiet!

looking at this place

5 miles to neighbours and then half hour to town. No “normal”car access for 8 months. Quite tempted to see what real remote is like for a while.

Yes good engineering but poor hospitality
