| Re: UK Road Trip - which route? You need to brush up on your Geography Robbo You ain't gonna get from Wales to Northern Ireland, unless you go via one of England, Scotland, or the Republic. Best option would be Scotland to NI, then either back from Dublin to Holyhead (North Wales), or for more driving in Ireland, down to Rosslare and over to South Wales. I think you're right about the charity run though. Would probably be the easiest to organise and the easiest for people to commit to. Could maybe do one of the longer ones if JoG->LE is a success. Good on you for putting yourself forward to organise everything

| Re: UK Road Trip - which route? IMHO I think for ease it would be best to just do the JOG to LE one.

| Re: UK Road Trip - which route? I still think you need to give more time for the driving. How are you going to enjoy it if it's going to be constant driving and nothing else? I suggest you make a few days of it whatever option you choose, but then I'm not doing it so do what you want

| Re: UK Road Trip - which route? Would join you for a bit if it was coming to the south west, but for me, a long roadtrip is only good when going abroad.

| Re: UK Road Trip - which route? I think you will get far more people just doing the JOG to LE over two days, gives most people a chance to join in ....and doing it for a reason (charity) |

| Re: UK Road Trip - which route? Why bother going to Lands End for any but the simple JOG to LE trip? The stretch from Exeter to L.E. is pretty pointless given the lack of Briskodians in that area and there is pretty much only one route (unless you fancy very slow progress) L.E. is a dump too. You could ditch some miles in Scotland too by only going up towards Dundee ish. |
