Right then, I have been set a daft assignment by work, at 10am tomorrow morning I am setting off from Tower bridge in London, I will basically be going round the coast of the whole of mainland Britain. I am going in a clockwise direction, So if there is anything I can move round the country, that will fit in the fronty, and isnt to far of course for me let me know. I have been given till 10am Tueaday morning, to arrive back at tower bridge, So I wont be hanging around anywhere for long.

Did you take on board what Gregster said about having AT's rather than MT's for all that sand driving?
How high up is the intake on your snorkel?
Seriously have a good trip - how many hours a day are you going to be driving cause I reckon that is going to take some doing to be back by Tuesday.
Will you be running your vid lens on the front?
Let us know how many miles you clock.

Lol, I do keep thinking about putting the road tyres back on the fronty, but as I dont pay for the fuel, and I dont mind the road noise, I like having the ability to go for a little off roading when im on my travels, and come across a greenlane. Dont currently have a Snorkel fitted, I have ordered one from Australia, and was planning to fit it next week, but Work our very short of Photographers at the mo, So I have agreed to go in next week, for some overtime.
Planning on driving about 18/20 hours a day, so should have plenty of time. Wont be running the camera on the front sadly.
And yep I will give you a mileage total, at the end.

Hi there all. Well im currently sitting in Arbroath, on the east coast of scotland we arrived here about 7pm this evening. excluding fuel stops, leaning out the car window to get pix of my Nephew, and an hours break at about 4am this morning. driven non stop for 37 hours. Ive travelled 3114 miles, and must say I am absolutely shattered!!!!!! The fronty has behaved hereself as usual, and not missed a beat. Must say though cant wait to get home, and I will not be doing this again in a hurry.
I will be setting off again in about 30 mins so I can get back to Tower bridge, London by 10am.
