I've done 700miles in a day from home to the French alps to go snow boarding. Left home at midnight and arrived about 6pm French time.

426 - Mine -> Matt L's -> Mine

We went Go Karting too whilst I was there and the top of the seat rubbed against me so the drive home was with a bruised bleeding back

420 miles from my house to St Ives in Cornwall for a holiday. Was easy in my A3, just cruised along quietly at 90 most of the way. Loved that car.

Bristol to somewhere in the middle of Scotland without a break.

I was driving a defender 110 with 8 of my mates in it (had those bench seats in the back) plus luggage. Could only do 60mph as any faster and it started swaying all over the place

driving long distances really does exhaust you from all the concentration.

So take regular breaks and naps if needed

I think I did 660ish once although I can't remember where I was going.

Longest one I can remember the route of was 608, St Helens>Dundee>Glasgow>Prestwick>St Helens, about 10 1/2 hours driving.

When I was driving plant for my dad i used to work 7am to 7pm in dumfries then travel straight to see my gf in aberdeen which is about 220. Ive driven further in a day but it used to kill me on a friday night.

It was even worse leaving at 3.30am to go to work on a monday knowing you had a 12hr shift infront of you when you got there

I've driven Aberdeen to london before, it wasnt anywhere near as bad as i expected to be honest. It took two tanks of fuel there and 2 on the way back in the swift though
