• Morning All,
  
  Just curious on what journeys and distances people here travel to the stoop, for example mine is:
  
  Taxi to Swindon Station
  Train to Reading
  Train to Twickenham
  
  All in just over 2 hr 10 min each way.
  
  I'm sure someone's got it far worse than that on here?!

• We can do it in two hours if we walk.
  Our quickest route is probably cycling - about half an hour each way

• Driving from near Sherborne in Dorset via the A303 and M3. It took about 3 1/2 hours for the last home game but usually about 2 1/2 hours each way.

• We come from near Maidstone, in Kent. A249, M20, M26, M25 and then A303. On a good day its 1.5 hours each way, and on a bad one (the first Friday night game of this season was a good example - M26, M20, A249 and A2 all closed at various points for roadworks!!??), 3+ hours.

• On an afternoon kick-off like today, it's drive to Didcot Parkway station, train to Reading, Train to Twickenham, Walk to the Stoop (via the pub for lunch) About the same 2h10m as yours, SQ. (Obviously the final leg from the Station to the Stoop depends how long I stay in the pub!)

• From Brentwood via M25, M4 to collect a friend at Brentford and out on the Richmond Road. 2 hours in 1.5 home. Unless it goes wrong...

• Much the same as SwindonQuin. Bus from Calne to Chippenham, train via Reading, few beers then walk to ground.

• I can’t compete with any of you as mine is a forty minute walk. Ten minute drive on very rare occasions.
        I’m impressed by how far you lot come to support Quins. The people I sit next to drive for over an hour to attend matches but evening games are a problem for them.

• A1, M25, A308, A316 about 65 miles. A good drive 90 minutes but can often take two and a half hours. We can be home in an hour after a Friday evening match.

• The M25 is totally stuffed so it's more like an hour and a half today!😠
