Britain is a tiny nation, just 600 miles from Land's End to John o' Groats, but I was idly wondering how long it would take to drive *around* Britain. Turns out it's almost 3,000 miles and would take over 70 hours! (They don't have motorways along the coast like in California.) Of course, half of that is Scotland, so just circling England and Wales would take around 35 hours.
That begs the question, why would anyone want to do it? Well, the next time I have to drive from Runcorn to Workington, rather than take the direct 2.5 hour drive, I just might take the scenic route*.
* I'm not sure how my company would respond if I submitted an expense claim for £432 in petrol.
