Posted by Fytton on Mon Sep 10 10:58:51 2007, in response to Re: Phila Inquirer: Gas prices, global warming renewing interest in high-speed rail, posted by Rail Blue on Mon Sep 10 10:48:16 2007. 'With one exception: I know plenty of people who will drive 800+ miles in a day to get back to England from doing a tour of caves cooperatives in the south of France.'I did that once, without a break in the driving except for the time on the ferry between Calais and Dover. It was a bad mistake; I was definitely not safe on the road for the last 100 miles or so to Nottingham, where I lived then. I've also done Bedford-Edinburgh round trip in the day (about 700 miles). Even though I had help with the driving on the way back, this was also a mistake, as I was far too tired to be driving on the M1 on the last leg of the journey back to Bedford. |
