When I lived in S. Africa we had about 65 miles (98km) each way twice a week to get to our respective morris practices. Then usually around the same if we had dance-outs.

Having got used to getting into a car and driving fairly hefty distances, I still do around 18000 miles a year. (Given the price of diesel, I am trying to cut down a bit).

Hope Jacqui is having a wonderful time. pity I won't get to thank her in person for the lovely shawl and baby blanket she has graced us with lately.
