I once stood on a headland in Gibralta (an English territory) and could see Africa in front of me and mainland Spain to my right. Three countries in ten seconds? Maybe time to concentrate on Wales then?

Did I mention that I'm off to the Maldives in just over 3 weeks?

Pisses all over my Benidorm for 4 nights But does that mean you would miss the Final IF we made it ??

I return on the 27th of May. I do not, however, live in the same continent as Horwich, so will not be attending any finals - The only finals we have won are ones not attended by myself. Another reason not to attend

I am quite lucky in that both of my parents were very interested in travel, my dad would got to stupid lengths to get new countries done for exampleonce he went on a bus journey to Albania from Cyprus. For my mums 40 birthday my dad took the four of us on a cruise, my mum said she wanted to go somewhere hot but did not mind where so my dad found a half priced cruise that went to something like 16 Caribbean islands in 12 days, that is why I have done so many Caribbean countries.

Must have been one of those amphibious things.

Personally I expect us to get something their a defeat would be a very poor result.

Get something their what?

spotty's list is still marked only by its total and complete absence..

I think we're going to have to declare Dan the challenge winner....

Actually drove across six borders in one day a couple of years ago. It was a very long day.

Belgium into Luxembourg, Luxembourg into France, France into Switzerland, Switzerland into Germany (Oops, I missed the France exit and had to drive up the other side of The Rhine) so Germany into France, France back into Luxembourg - where I ordered raw fish by mistake in the restaurant. Told you it was a long day

That I can well believe. Then again, you didn't come on claiming you visited them, although in fact, you did.

Did you really enjoy much of it Bruce? I once drove from Westhoughton to Ramsgate, across on the ferry, across a fair chunk of France, over the Pyrenees and down another chunk of Spain and back again. By the time I got home I just wanted to get on a bus.

Gosh, Tango, that must be 1500 kms. You do realize that I have driven over 2000 kms in a single day from Cornwall to Kenora and not only visited but a single country but didn't get out of the Province of Ontario. It's all relative.

I've heard that 98% of Canadians never leave the province they're born in.

Ah, I forgot to mention the ten day pit-stop in La Manga.

Oh. and there was something like 3,700 miles on the clock when I got home...

My longest road trip (two countries!) was just over 10,000 kms.

I drive on the continent quite a lot when I'm at work, Tango. I don't really get to enjoy much of it as it's all about getting to wherever I need to be next - usually a meeting or a hotel.

A couple of years ago though a pal and I drove to Zermatt in Switzerland for a walking holiday up on the Alps around The Matterhorn. We got a wriggle on on the way there but coming back through France we decided to avoid L'autoroutes and came back via the villages and towns, staying overnight in Dijon. I'm so glad that we did that. What a stunning country.

Wish I could take-in more of the places that I visit, but ultimately it isn't what I'm there to do.

I wouldn't know - I was born in Bolton (and left Lancashire).

[Enoch]

I've been to the Isle of Sheppy. Oh and the Isle of Thanet, you need balls to go there.

[Enoch]

Never done both in one day mind.
