Tomorrow I have to drive from South Bucks up to Liverpool for a couple of meetings, then into North Wales and back again. That will probably notch up at least 500.

More if I feel the urge to go speed trap hunting in Cymru

I did Cologne to Geneva in a day and Geneva to Calais a few days later...

Could only be done on the continent though, has taken me best part of eight hours to do 130 miles over here....

Maybe that's a new thread, slowest journeys ever....

Ravenglass (Cumbria) to Staines, via central London, on an August Bank Holiday Monday. 300 or so miles in 12 hours...

Used to do that trip regularly, so kept a sleeping bag in the boot. If the traffic was sh1te, I'd find a quiet corner at the services, set the alarm for 4am, and get my head down. On this occasion I'd agreed to give little sis a lift south and had no option but to carry on. Worst run I ever had, even if not quite the slowest average speed.

About 650 on our trip to Corsica this year, we covered over 500 miles in a day 3 times over the whole trip, 2839 miles in 12 days.

Suprised at how comfortable the trip was, to be honest we expected to have back ache etc but no problems apart from being slightly tired

Applecross in the Highlands to Essex, only around 700 miles, in the old classic bigarse. Did have 2 kids in the back, so equivalent to a week in the car without rest

Ello Mr Sadler

Oh, and forgot, did Pau (Pyrenees, South West France, on the Spanish border) to Bolougne in a day in October in Lesley's diesel Freelander

Long story, but drove down to Pau to go to a veterinary conference - started off from Newmarket on Tuesday evening arrived Pau Wednesday evening, Thursday morning we had to get back to London for an awards ceremony so drove 110 miles to Toulouse, flew to Gatwick, went to the awards ceremony, got to bed at 0130, up 2 1/2 hours later to get the 5am Gatwick Express, flew back to Toulouse, arrived at 10.30 and Lesley had to be at the conference centre at Pau to do a talk in 1.5 hours, and it was 110 miles away....... One flat out dash (up to 115mph ) in the Freelander and screamed on to the forecourt of the conference centre and bundled her out of the door. Had the day off on Saturday and went and climbed a local mountain , set off driving back home on Sunday morning, arrived at Bolougne in the evening, stayed overnight, filled the car up with 100 bottles of wine at Sainsbury's Calais next morning, through Eurotunnel and arrived back home Monday lunchtime

Almost beats my five flights in six days trip in the States in September

I've shared the driving from Essex to Lorret and back on one of the Catalunya trips. Can't remember how many miles it was, but it was all of France, and quite a bit of Spain. non-stop pretty much, apart from re-fuelling stops.

Also done the Tour D'Ecosse quite a few times now as well. I didn't do the famous "Monster Route 7" that some did in 99/2000, the covered about 650 miles in one day, 90% of it on single track roads with passing places all up the West coast of Scotland, along the northern coast and back down to Glencoe again, in November (light after 8am, dark by 3:30pm!), raining quite a lot. That was done in about 13 hours in total, including stopping for fuel, lunch and other photo stops. There were some very amusing sheep videos from those events as well!

Saint Tropez to London in one go. I can't remember how long it took exactly, but it needed filling every 2 hours.

In the impreza I did Reading to Ascot (worked for 1 hour) then on to Halifax (Was out the car about 10 minutes) and then back to Ascot (worked for 5 hours) then back to Reading, which was nearly 600miles and was out the house for 16 hours...

In the old escort I drove from Reading to Glasgow Via leeds, then back the following day, then did the same journey 3 days latter... That was in the region of 600miles each way... as the escort was a diesel I did each way on one tank of fuel!!!!
