ill probably get flamed here drove down from York, took about 4 1/2 hours. i wasnt tired at all.
wondered how long you guys have driven without stopping or falling asleep, lol
Berlin to Blackburn... Via Autobahn Then back again, 13hrs each way.
Then Ran it to raise money for charity, that took 16 days.
So you did the london to york journey then. How did it go?
M11 & A1?
lightweight me and a friend drove 2600 miles, covered 7 countries from wednesday at 2pm we left and got home on the friday at 3pm

scotland-england-france-belguim-holland-germany-luxembourg-belguim-france-england-scotland.
I WILL NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!!
that was non stop, if i wasnt driving i was navigating and vice versa so all in it was 49 hours with no sleep and no stopping unless loading parts

I drove from Andorra to Roscoff in 1 trip, no stopping for fuel, peeing, food or any thing.
10 hours and about 700 miles that day, I was so happy to see the hotel room.
Fair play for doing that.
If being totally honest, I did it to get back to the uk for an extra two weeks leave lol
Haha that's how I lost my rank. Ain't proud though. Stupid mistakeHAHA brilliant.
Better than punching an officer.........o wait, thats if you never want to go back. lol
Bike or ski. ? Always wanted to get over. But sold my bile before I had chance ;(

I think there's a bit of cheating going on here! Surely "Driving without stopping" means just that, so all these transcontinental runs are ineligible as I guess a ferry/tunnel was involved?!
So to my mind at least any non-stop driving is limited to within the UK and/or the range of your fuel tank......!
Stopping for petrol is acceptable, i would say.
But I agree, having a ferry trip, sleep over, etc in the middle of your journey makes it two journeys.... and, in terms of this thread, is a blatant attempt to mislead and cheat.
Be ashamed of yourselves.
Haha that's how I lost my rank. Ain't proud though. Stupid mistake
Non-stop is non-stop.
Sat in the drivers seat with out getting out or stopping the engine.
stopping for fuel is stopping, stopping for a pee is stopping.
so any one who stopped the car and removed their bum from the seat fail.
Woo-Hoo I win.
Yeah but if petrol stops are classed as a journey's end then the best anyone is going to get is about 500-600 miles, which makes for a boring thread.
Lets compromise..... stop offs that are less than 10 minute are acceptable and not a journey breaker.
PS: We are taking this FAR too seriously.
PPS: I win.
600 miles? Bahh, petrol drivers.
700 miles on 1 tank and still had some left to get me back home in england. But did not want to pass up 91p PL on diesel.
PS: But thats making it just as entertaining
PPS: I'm Winning.
Ok, so 700 miles is the winning bid.
Thread closed!
See.... we need to allow for fuel stop offs otherwise we'll never know what is humanly possible. Machines already control much of our everyday lives, so I'm f***ed if I'm going to let them control this!
So, my fellow human, lets take a stand and say "yeah machine, you might be enabling us to travel all these miles BUT you ain't controlling what is classed as one journey, because re-fueling IS allowed, so stick that up your exhaust and smoke it!"
Are you with me brother?!
PS: I've won.
Is a bit stupid. I keep calling people the wrong ranks.
WO1 a PO or a Staff a Corporal. It is funny but there is a couple that tends to yell at me. "sorry Sir, I'm a civvy"
Stopping for fuel is ok and at the same time wee.
PPS: Since you have won, this is what you win for that thing that you won at.
I'd say or else we would have to put time limits on twos.What about number twos?
Just need to set clear and concise rules.
Its a soap box for talking on but you can wash your self with if you want.Are you saying that I need a wash?
No, cause stopping it stopping.
Unless you can do a rolling fill up, then its ok. lol
Stopping for fuel is ok and at the same time wee.
but stopping for sleep, ferry, train or swapping drivers
