Dan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Think its about 225 miles from my little corner of Cheshire. The journey home always seems worse and more painful than the journey there though! Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZimbiIV Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 256 miles 5.5 hours, unless co pilot falls asleep! 1st 175 miles in 2,25 hours then the A17!!!!! followed by the A47. Takes 4 hours to the boat in Cambs why are we moving to the Broads? 'Cos we are. I have a car that will do 175mph but prefer the boat that will do 9mph down hill, but then again can get to the boat quicker! 31 March a 19 year dream starts, our OWN boat on the Broads! The ducks will now be safe from shmbo throwing last of the bread with venom on the last night of hiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 We live about 250 miles away in East Dorset, and if we`re really lucky and have a completely trouble free journey, about 5-6 hours driving. We usually go on a friday night to kent first and stay with my dad for friday night and do the last 120-130 miles on the saturday morning. This year however, we`ve got a friday boat, so it`s going to be driving straight to the yard, so it looks like being up at 6 and leave at 7, but we`ll probably get stuck on the m3, m25 and a12. so i will be more than happy to get to rosie leas for lunch.

Brian J. Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Compared with previous posts, I think I must be fairly lucky - I only have a journey of 3hrs 20 mins from Guildford in Surrey. That is with the provoso that the M25, A 12 etc are reasonably clear. Brian J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loribear Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 hi all it's alright for some is'nt it, it usually takes us about 3 1/2 hours, because my hubby's so cautious of all the cameras they keep putting up, which is a real pain.

Guest Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Used to be 200 miles till we moved. Now 10 minutes to Wroxham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Roughly 2 1/2 hrs, and approx. 130 miles from RM18, depending of course on how the A12,A140, and A47 perform. When I eventually have to leave Stalham, I will admit, it's a bit of a wrench. Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w44nty Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 You lot are making me feel guilty!!!!

Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 156 miles, 3 hours ish from South Yorkshire, I hate the A17 and A47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
555tc Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 3.5-4.5 hrs from S.Manchester via Chesterfield, Mansfield, Newark, then the usual A17,A47 problems!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DAYTONA-BILL Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 So what`s wrong with the A17/A47 then?. I thought it was only the M25 that was a pain in the **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumSwizzle Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 About 3,600 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodall_m1 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 About 3,600 miles That is the record so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 About 3,600 miles You may find it quicker to be based on the southern broads. Much closer. ..... and a little bitty colder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 90 miles and 2 hours (only takes an hour and a quarter to reach the A47 from here and after that its the local lanes that take the time) Oh, if SWMBO drives, it takes about an hour an a half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumSwizzle Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Door to Door I reckon it could be done in 11-12 hours.... 25 mins drive to the airport... Arrive 1 hour before flight 6.5 hours Bermuda to Gatwick 30 mins to grab bags and hire car 3 hours drive from Gatwick Yeah, 12 hours is definitely do-able. Would be pretty at the end of it though ! Will be doing it for real (although not that quickly !) in June - can't wait ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 150 miles for me and about 20 times a year so about 6000 miles a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
