You lot are going soft!
Just done Preston to Garda 1200 miles non-stop.
Morning at work so don’t need to use a day’s holiday.
Set off early afternoon – Tunnel for 9pm – Driving again by 11pm local.
Only stop to refuel, change drivers at 800 miles (two tanks).
Arrive Garda 11am – ready for uplift shuttle before 12 noon.
Previously, on route to Mega and needing to get some shut-eye, I’ve just crashed-out in a bivi bag on the Aires de service for a few hours. There’s always somewhere quiet and grassy.
Also, +1 for the Hull-Rotterdam overnight ferry if you’re in the North. We use this most years for family ski trips to Dolomites. On the raod for 9am – arrive in time for evening meal.
