Didn’t Ewan McGregor do something called ‘The Long Way Down‘?
Lightweight.
Now THIS is the Long Way Down….
Just over 6 months….
10,319 miles (16,606 km) by road….
1,637 miles (2,663 km) by sea….
63 miles (101 km) by breakdown truck….
420 gallons (1,921 litres) of diesel….
£2,305 spent on fuel (average £1.22 per litre, average 24.5 mpg, average 8.60 km/l, average 11.60 l/100km)…
17 countries (UK, France, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, Greece, Turkey, TRNC: Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium)…. 6 of them in the last 5 days!
Where are we after 10,000 miles?
41.6 miles from home.
Fantastic!
Temporarily back in the UK, waiting for the car to be loaded into a container next Monday for Cape Town. An unexpected treat and an opportunity to catch up with friends & family due to the difficulty in getting into northern Africa via either Egypt, Israel or Sudan.
Hopefully the car will leave here next week and we will follow a couple of weeks afterwards.
In the meantime, it was a hell of a round trip for a wedding – but it’s been a blast.
