Default Longest Journey

What is the longest drive you have ever done. How far how many hours and how often do you take a break.

I managed a 4 hour drive in one stint before I took a break and we must have covered about 800 miles by the end of the journey - this was in France and the roads there are fantastic, really well maintained and no congestion at all! My car nags me every 2 hours so I ignore that for another hour and take a break but if I'm tired I do break more frequently.
