That was a trek and a half wasn't it, Cornwall to Sunderland.
Enjoy driving the cars 

Not really surprised it was a 2 day trip, the weather was extremely bad and as you say South West to North East was always going to be a stretch. Originally I had organised the rounds with less distance difference in between, but as we know that was not to be. Again emphasises the need to have a wider breathing space between hosts which we will do in future.
