My longest drive was an occasional 502 miles trip from Pompey to "somewhere in Scotland" when I was serving in the Royal Navy.

As a biker, I did the Lands End to John o' Groats (and back) challenge. We went two-up on a 500cc super-scooter, endeavouring NOT to use M-ways at all if we could help it. I depended on Geraldine (my trusty Garmin GPS) and we traveled 2088 miles overall and were on the road for a total of 39.5 hours (I kept a log). We took our time and limited the daily legs to no more than about 300 miles at a time so we could enjoy the scenery and the lovely Scottish roads (more or less traffic free!).

It rained every day.

The furthest i've driven is from Skipton to Woolacombe, via Silverstone and Uxbridge...and back...was about 600 miles in total i think..possibly more.
When i was younger though, we used to go on holiday to Italy and my dad drove there are back 3 times, it was a good experience, but this was before the days of aircon..so it was hot!!!!
