go for a drive to Northern Italy. Says it will take 10 hours. Would be a nice scenic drive.
Is it worth while? or too much hassle, better to fly.

I'd probably give it a couple of years of driving before you try it my friend :driving:
Don't get out of 2nd or 3rd gear. Lost about half a stone at the end of it
It gets tiring after a few hours. Does Mrs Telecaster drive too?
she can do the driving on the other side.
Takes f**king 4-5 hours to get to Kerry.
I find it pretty tiring though as I am nervous as I am new.
She can drive but she never driving in London. But she tried it last week and hates it so ever since I've done the driving.
Let alone halfway across Europe.
She's terrified of driving in London.
But over there they don't wear seatbelts. park anywhere they like, drink drive, drive on pavements and don't stop.
Even at 1 hour I am being extremely generous.
Also, ten hours sounds optimistic. It takes six to get to the Lake District.
Maybe a drive to St Albans first, and visit the abbey and the Roman stuff.
to stay in lane, indicate, pay attention to other road users, not use the horn for recreation and all those other things she's not used to.
I suppose that, if you're used to chaos, order must be a bit scary.
two stops along the way but i probably could've done with another two.
same.
only good if car ok though..must be a 100-120 mph cruiseing smooth good seats etc ..otherwise bit of ball ache. im driving to fortwilliam in few weeks ..takes about 6 hours max ..beautfiul
tunnels desperately hoping your sat nav picks up a signal again soon.
As Berni said, take a stop-over if you can then divert south along the Riviera. Will add another 5-6 hours but definitely worth it.
:bow: :hehe: it was mental..went henley - calais to france/spain border in one go then drove next day to benidorm..stopping on way to go go-karting :0)
just go for it pat..only way to learn is to try it imo
Any coach journey confirms that.
Any coach journey with a broken toilet also reaffirms that.
Any coach journey with a broken toilet, going through Mississippi in the height of summer, further reaffirms that.
Any coach journey with a broken toilet, going through Mississippi in the height of summer, as the only white person on board, makes it blindingly f**king obvious to said person.
you can get into italy in under 10 hours easily and good routeor if north eastern italy do autobahns flat out, cross austria by innsbruck and you into italy quicker than a division off SS stormtroopers
I must have spent years in my car. Being travelling down for 20 years
The other route brings you to Turin or Genoa. Much nicer
Still probably more likely to get to a game before Maz
personality type to you, Snin. I'm not sure that 'going mental' is quite his style.
This is the man who's obsessed with the London Underground and now owns - at a conservative estimate - about 40 guitars at the moment, remember?
Can you not let the train take the strain?
until you get south of Lyon, then it livens up a bit. Alps are a laugh to drive over, although tunnel is prolly recommended for the nervous driver
insult now..dont want to make you :shout:
