Nice to see you're in Rob!

For those that are interested, the rough route is:-

Lands End - Newton Abbot - Exeter - Shaftsbury - Cirencester - Warwick - Burton On Trent - Huddersfield - Kendal - Keswick - Penrith - Carlisle - Paisley - Invergarry - Inverness - John O' Groats.

That's 975miles!
If you can average 30mpg, at a pump price of 115.9p per litre, the cost of the trip would be £171.01

Thanks
Mike

hi mike. any chance of putting up the roads we be using. would help find campsites etc if i know the route.  

[mike213735]

Kris,

This rough route was from the Autoroute you bought down on Saturday.

Does that help, or do you need me to post the roads up still?

sorry mate, been a long weekend.  
do you still want me to send a copy of auto route for you to stick on your puter

[mike213735]

TB, yes, I know. Living in Reading, I have about 270 miles to Lands End before the start, and then 680 at the end. Thats a whopping 1925 miles for me in 2 weeks. Mind you, the old girl has just done 2000 miles in 2 weeks whilst holidaying in Wales and Cornwall.

My mileage and costs were for the actual trip.

Kris - yeah go on then mate if you don't mind.

Thanks
Mike

[Big Fra]

Yup, count me in. Fancied summit like this for a while.
Keep us posted!

[mike213735]

OK, date is decided as 14th August.

We will be in Cornwall for the 14th, and kick off for the trip will be 17th August (Monday).
Now we just need to decide which Charity.

The charities have not been as willing to accept the money as I had thought they would be?

Having a little chat about this t'other day with HNO3 and Kris ----- HNO3 suggested Children In Need ( basically as being a charity it's easy to give to!!!!  I tried to sponsor Great Ormond Street on my website -- the hoops they want you to jump through are unbelievable !!!)

Mate of mine did this a few years ago with a few mates.. on Honda C90s. I think they had watched too many "purple helmets" videos. Anyway, they made it, a sore @rse and a few bodges and rebuilds later.
