Wasn't towing, but once drove from Southampton to Plymouth.... via London, Norwich, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Carlisle, Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol (in that order). Three of us shared the driving, 26 hours and 57 minutes non-stop for the 1,570 miles. It was a round Britain drive for ITV's Telethon over the May 1988 Spring Bank Holiday weekend. Hard to believe it's almost 25 years ago. I even had hair back then!

Yeah whisper I sure hope we will be taking her for a little spin in her new surroundings !

Perhaps a good way to end this thread - this is how I went out to a different island to look at an outboard another Ribnet member had for sale... Any shorter journeys by air than this for Rib stuff?
