I did Falkirk to Rockingham and back thsi year for Nat day..


I was driving a brand new Focus 1.5 TDi and it was a breeze..

its over 700 miles round trip.

Dan Si

Interesting thread. The furthest i've driven is 270miles. Brierley Hill, West mids, to Hayle, Cornwall in about 8 hours. Had a couple of breaks.

I saw a programme the other night, I think it was called "A long way down" about a celebrity biking from john o'groats to cape town. Its inspired me to do a John O'Groats to Lands end trip and I'd like to do it for charity some day (or two lol)

Once did a trip to Paris with a few from work, worked out at around thousand miles with a couple of hours kip (we got very lost), we were on an exchange trip and the local plod insisted on showing us the night life.

Does not seem much but I was on a ZX7R with the poor wife as pillion.

S1rst

850 miles is my highest in one day so far for work, and that was non stop, with 2 minutes to pick up and drop off 4 times. I can do 400+ a few times a week but mainly around 350 ish, with probably one or two bad days at around 200 miles. Every now and then ill get a day where i do nothing, and sometimes the odd 100 miler.

You must have a big fuel tank mate!

Steven_RW

We had just driven from London to Budapest via Brussels and Prague so driving didn't seem to much of a issue
