Do you think he is allowing enough time? Bournemouth is nearly France! ;) Perhaps he should set off at 12 midnight! But lots of respect to anyone making the journey :)

My in-car assistant, Jane, has been swotting up on the roads and she now knows average speeds for main roads throughout the day & night. She reckons 5h14m leavng at 12pm Tuesday without a stop limiting the speed to 60. That's M6, M6 Toll, M40, A34, M3 and M27.

Has Jane allowed for road works, changing your route due to accidents, weather conditions meaning you have to slow down etc.etc.? Your signature says "Back Soon", will you be??? :(

If you took Jane with you then she would know about roadworks & accidents and re-route (if necessary) as soon as she heard about them.

I'm always back soon ;)

Unrestricted, Jane reckons 4h44m without a stop (from ground to ground). Personally I'd add an hour for traffic problems plus stopping time.
