Most miles driven/ridden in one go?

[dave0010]

Just a curious thought really. What's the most amount of miles you have driven in one go?

This is without swapping driver or stopping for a power nap. Fuel stops are allowed and this also includes bikes and lorry's.

Personally I think the most I have done is about 250 and that was only for a holiday destination.

330, Newcastle to Norwich via Cambridgeshire.

Should be doing 550ish in a few weeks, London to Hannoverish.

There was a thread on this not too long ago, think some people were getting into 4 digits!

717 miles, wouldn't do it again mind - I'm sure that someone else will be along in a moment to blow this into the proverbial weeds though!

950 miles with a break for a ferry crossing in

[PainTrain]

Telford- Swansea- Telford- Swansea. So only about 500 miles for me. This included loading/ unloading.

Only about 230 in one go. To Wales for a concert.

250 miles isn't very far. Any London-based Scottish
persons will have gone quite a bit further than
that whenever they drive back to their tribal homelands.

I've done 600 miles in one day on a few occasions.

I have driven from near Calais to nearly Misano ,Italy in one go.

Cant find the scribbled down mileage i did .

You wont find big mileages from truckers due to driving hours regulations [4.5 hours max at one time]

John O'Groats to Guildford in a day (750 miles) on my own. As above, not something I would do again (on top of doing 1/3rd of the route up the day before 3 up with two bikes on the roof), so 1,500 miles in 48 Hours.

These will be the 10 to 15 year old bedroom fantasists claiming to be international couriers.

676 miles including a short stint on a ferry.

450 miles with no stopping at all! North of Ft William, highlands down to Solihull. Emptied a complete tank of fuel and I'd driven straight after a night shift!! All to compete in a rally.

Otherwise have done Aberdeen to South Wales with only fuel stops, think that topped 500 miles.

About 500 miles from Bad Harzburg in Germany to Boulogne.

Do I get extra credits for it being on the wrong side of the road and in a Suzuki Cappuccino?

You get extra points if you mean wrong side of the road for Germany/France!

[Famous Graham]

Even though I went on a few European driving holidays, I suspect the longest continuous stretch would actually be my regular Reading -> Edinburgh runs a few years ago. About 400 miles door to door.

[Biker's Nemesis]

1200 miles. Morpeth to Antibes on a 350 YPVS September 1989.

[Riley Blue]

777 miles from Ostend to Reifnitz (Austria).

Yeah, had to swap over when I hit Blighty.

If I can use the ferry as a drink stop, I can add 300 on this side of the channel so that makes it 800 miles.
I must have been mad.

Slightly off topic but a few years ago I saw an Aston Martin (DB9 I think) at the Festival of Speed that had done 1000 miles a day for 10 days. Pretty good going I think!!!
