Longest time driving in one session

[obi_waynne]

What is the longest time you've spent driving non stop (15 min breaks are allowed here).

I did 5 hours once, then my wife did the next 3. The car nags me after 2 hours to take a break but it was a journey down to the south of France and we were against the clock following a delayed ferry journey.

Couple of years ago I drove 6 of us from Poole on the South coast to Oban on west coast of Scotland. Stopped 5 times as 4 women in car with what seems thimble sized bladders necessitated it. Ended up taking 11 hours in all. Still quicker then the year before when we went by plane.
View was worth the effort though. Having a well earned rest on the porch

When I was rallying my Datsun 1600 I drove app 2+ hours to the start had a couple of hours break before starting the event at 3pm and finished after dawn the next morning then drove app 2+ hours home and was hallucinating seeing ships and trains coming out of the forest.Was driving with my head out of the window in winter to help stay awake/alert and getting out every so often and doing exercises.

If I recall correctly I had driven more than 1000KLM's

My Co driver was driven there a day before the start so i drove solo to and from the event as well.

In those days we drove the event blind = no recce and the co driver had to use army maps and plot the route.

Real rallying!

Just wanted to get back. We took two days getting to Utah which was much more fun.

Pretty good only couple of days in the 2 weeks was wet.
2 miles from the nearest sign of civilization, our own private beach and lots of free roaming sheep as company. Good place to escape from the world.
