Liverpool -> Felixstowe -> Liverpool so not far compared to you mega milers

Just been chatting about this to one of my mates and I think he wins (or rather he would if he'd done it in one day).

Distance from Munich, Bavaria Germany to Beijing, China is 4838.5 Miles

Flew to Beijing, did 2 hours work, flew home.

Langford > Windsor > Langford > Southend > Langford > Lincoln > Langford

479.8 miles total, was a long day, and had a very numb arse come 11pm.

I associate day trip with voluntary holiday

I haven't had to do many day trips. Now, if you count continuous trips that stretched out over time...

I went all the way around the world. But it consisted of a three year stop in Australia and one year in Glasgow.

Newbury -> Liverpool -> Newbury. Visiting a certain exhibition by the name of 'Port of Culture'

Can't remember if I did it via Reading or London.

That's a pittance compared to my longest one-way in a day. Cairns (Australia) to Newbury. I am somewhat stretching the definition of day as it started and ended in different time zones and neither started nor ended at midnight.

Bristol to scunthorpe and back. ~400miles in a 0.9litre fiat chinquecento.

Stan_Lite · 13-07-2009, 22:34

Not sure about the distance (I think about 250 miles each way) but the longest round trip I've done was Newcastle to Aberdeen and back by train - done it a few times.

Done Portsmouth -> Belgium -> Portsmouth in a day before, so about 400 miles round trip. Was giving a guy from work a hand getting some duty free baccy.

Not sure about a single round trip, but my car has done 13,000 miles since the end of April, then again my job is mostly driving.
