    Wild. My best friend lives on the west coast of Ireland. It’s a 3.5 hour drive and I consider that a massive trek.

      I mean, in a way it is. But sometimes 3.5hrs doesn’t even get you from London’s ring road in the east straight through to the west side of the ring road. Bit different if you’re able to do 70mph(or the Canadian limit of 110kmph, so like…68ish?) the whole time.

        Yeah it’s mostly motorway for me so I’d be averaging somewhere over 80 kph for the journey as a whole. Upper limit here is 120kph but I’m rarely arsed going that fast tbh. The last bit is country roads so slow enough.

          Yeah, the slowest part of my last camping trip back home was getting out of Vancouver, and then the bit at the end up an old logging road.
