What's the furthest you have driven in a day in your bus?

Whats the furthest you have driven in a day in your bus. A lad at work was asking me and i generally only do easily under 100 miles.

 

Oxford to the Lake District. Only one stop too.

 

last year i drove from sunny cleethorpes to haverfordwest in south wales and that was around 340 miles and only took 11hours with two stops lol

 

Cambridge to Cornwall or Cambridge to Disneyland Paris. That's about my limit. Not sure how many miles that is but it's all day behind the wheel and 3 stops for petrol.


Nearly forgot, did Vende region of France back to Calais in one go, that was longer than Disney I think.

 

drove for 5 hours straight over wrynose and hard knott pass in lakes on my first ever trip out in the pitch black :'( worst ever trip in the van...

 

The day we bought Hattie, we drove her 200 miles home from Burnham-on-Sea to Sheffield. We had the car with us as well so kept swapping over from the freezing gales blowing through the gaps round the doors on a January day, to the comfy modern car with seat heaters, radio etc! We had to swap vehicles every hour, so neither of us froze to death!!
Apart from that, most of our trips have been a maximum of 100 - 110 miles in a day so far. I think once we've sorted out the heating and draft problems and maybe got some more comfortable seats, we'll hopefully be able to go further in a day.

 

Limerick to Dublin last year I think - about 130 miles. Generally I think of 100 miles as a reasonable daily distance.
Coming up to Disco_kegs land in June so that will be a bit further

 

we drove from Hampshire to Gretna with our little boy (8 months at the time) it was 355 miles after that we didnt camp but stayed in a B&B ... our picture is still on their website http://www.blackyettmains.co.uk/Useful_Links.html

 

The day I picked up my van - 365 miles Brighton to Carlisle. I had been advised that the (recently installed) engine would need a service after around 500 miles. I didn't realise until I got home that the engine had been installed only 60 miles ago! Had to stop 3 times for fuel - given that the fuel gauge doesn't work and I really didn't fancy a yellow taxi!

 

Just looked up my longest trip. St Julien Des Landes France to Calais is 412 miles.
Home to Mevagissey 323
Home to Jablines France 357
Jablines to St Julien 299


No wonder my kids get bored!

 

We drove from hull to Newquay in the day, this was done 2 days after completing the restoration.
So I had to run in the rebuilt engine all the way there. 50mph and no more.

 

my trip out over hard knott was my first trip out in my recon engine... i was told not to go on the motorway over 30 mph and just a short trip... yeh i couldn't have put the engine through more mentalness if i tried... my fuel gague didn't work wither just got that fixed the other week haha

 

We did similar on the way to France. 50 on the fist leg, 60 on the next, 65/70 next and then spanked it from Dover to home and touched 85 for the last few miles. By the time we got back it was ready for new oil and filter

 

Between 380 and 400 miles depending on which part of hull, must have been a very long day!!

 

Marbella to Santander - how ever far that is!

 

round trip Rainham in Essex to Bournemouth was 284 miles, followed by Rainham to Leeds 221 miles. Tend to do less tha 100 miles at a time though.

 

644 miles, that'll take some beating

 

Google says 644.6 miles

 

Too fast for me Alan

 

Haha, I still have a window open, checking distances to Dent, I better save up for some more petrol
