Back in 1980, me and my gf,( now wife) had both just passed our tests, we’d bought a mini, we’d been invited to go camping with her parents, and their friends, to perranporth in Cornwall, set off Friday night at 8 o’clock ( from York) , in our little mini, with us and her younger brother in the car, plus a roof rack and a boot full of luggage, following the in laws in their car ( Skoda rapid) with them following their friends, driving for the first time through the night, there was no m42 to cut across country in those days( at least I don’t think so) so it was off across the M62, M6/5, with the fil, not being able to drive, his wife and other son did most of it, of course the lead car got lost, no sat nav in those days, and any stops along the motorway were restricted to a quick toilet break and coffee , we arrived some 18hours later thoroughly knackered, crashed out in the tents, and woke up at six, but not sure if it was six in the evening or six in the morning...never again have we driven through the night....0

We once did Porec, Yugoslavia to Blackburn Lancs, non-stop on a bike due to overspending and overstaying in Porec.
Left Porec at 6am Thursday, got home 8pm Friday.
