280 miles or so down to Devon towing a caravan. Set off at 2:00am and took around six hours.

Furthest I've personally driven about 50 miles and I hated that, but driven by my husband from here in Surrey to top of Scotland dragging a caravan on the back, took us three days with over night stops.

The furthest I have driven in one day was from Dornoch in the Highlands back to Essex, around 600 miles.

The furthest l have driven to, is to Crantock, Cornwall about 250 miles.
I always used to drive there or back after midnight, so it didn’t take as long as in peak hours.

Drove down to perranporth in Cornwall we had both just passed our tests ( me and then girlfriend, now wife) following in laws who were following their friends, we were off on our first camping adventure, in our little mini, set off at 8pm, arrived at 2pm the next day, as the leading car got lost, fil didn't believe in stopping for long, a quick toilet break and drink then off,( handy for him as he doesn't drive) I have never been so tired in my life, and vowed never to follow or travel through the night again
