I did over 400 miles in Fenchurch on Sunday. Took me about 10 hours. The 150 miles to Stanford Hall is a stroll in the park!

snap.
about 2000 on previous year's JOGLE (although that was in Cam's car)
and in between those 2 events I did did 6000 on the Plymouth Dakar.
Adding them all together makes about the same as those guys doing the South African trip!
Road trips are addictive - be careful ;-)

Theres no excuse! Wallace is the same age as Vikki, and its almost all either Motorway or dual carriageway. The only iffy bit was the 271. Looking forward to meeting up again when you get there.

135 miles for me, most of the way down the M1, only a short drive compared to the MOT. Ser II just passed its MOT test today with no problems. Will be taking that to the National towing the trailer tent, despite the main bearings rattling a bit and the valve guides a bit worn!!
