Since I was bored, and I was curious, after Froggys comment about me being one of the most travelled roboteers around, I worked out how far Ive travelled in the past year (2007):

Swindon - 36.8 miles
BMW - 247.2 miles
Wigan - 320 Miles
AWS 22 - 85 miles
Magna - 300.4 miles
Colchester - 275 miles
Burgess Hill - 228 miles
Mold - 350 miles
RR Ayelsbury - 82 miles
RR Northampton - 120 miles
RR Guildford - 160.2 Miles
Space Center - 154.6
RL Exeter - 275.4 Miles
UK HW champs + Hemel Hempstead
190.8 miles Oxford to Phwelli, 234.8miles Phwelli to HH, 68.8 miles HH to Oxford) = 494.4 Miles!
RR Doncaster - 312 miles
RR Portsmouth - 204.4 Miles
AWS 24 (Ickenham) - 115 Mile
Robochallenge ThinkTank - 121.6 miles

= 3881.6 Miles

Wow Dave, thats pretty far!

Makes our two/three times a year trip down from Scotland seem like a quick five minute jaunt in comparison

Just thinking about it actually, I dont think anyone can trump Jonno this year in terms of miles racked up. Singapore and Doha just take the biscuit!

[swanaldo]

How far would you go ?

i was just gonna say i can beat you in 1 event jonno would win hands down

How far would you go ?

johnno has beat me by singapore :P

[razerdave]

How far would you go ?

Yeah, Jonno would go over me easily, but for those of us not jet-setting to Doha and Singapore...I think just under 4000 miles is a lot for a guy on public transport the entire year

Furthest Ive been is Stoke on Trent, around 60 miles. Although thats more on the train because the route is weird

Blimey! Youve done nearly as many miles as I did during the whole of last year in the space of 6 months! Thats some going !

Where you staying with relatives in Kent ? And how come you had to turn back 30 mins from Leicester ?

[cliveb]

How far would you go ?

when we go down south we stay with my parents near Sevenoaks, and we turned back 30 mins from Leicester when Alex threw up (he wasnt at all well)turned round and drove 3 hours back home again.oh the glamour of being a roboteer
