'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. Funny how no-one ever decides they'll stay in a hotel in Kent... |
