I almost hate to ask how you found this or why. But, #22 was a hoot! A little tougher than the English Channel.

I got in a email today..

It's amazing how these things mess up so wonderfully.

One of our road rescue companys, the AA, has a web routing service which had a similar foul up in my area.

To get from Weymouth to Portland, a trip of some 6 miles, it sent you to the ferry terminal, across the English Channel and back again. Total distance about 210 miles.

That must have been someting dreamt up by a travel agent!

I had a flight plan like that once. I flew all over the East Coast to get to West Virginia. That was the last time I ever assumed anyone considered my time or money.

Good very good
I've started looking at other routes across the Atlantic.
New York to Gibralter takes you to northen france and then you have to drive all the way down.

Why not just swim to Gibralter

Nice one Brian.

I seem to remember that USA to London drops you into Le Havre and you drive to Calais for the ferry
