It's a piece of cake... 5 hr 5 min (278.5 mi) via M5 from Somerset Levels to Aylsham. It's 8 hours from here - Charlotte, NC - to the east coast of North Carolina or to Jacksonville, Florida... I guess we're used to driving those types of distances in the US... :roll:

It's 2 hr 51 min (136.4 mi) via M11 and A11 from London to Aylsham...

This machine is definitely worth the drive.

At my age a round trip of 557 miles on our slow overcrowded UK roads is too much for me.
I would need to make an overnight stop in a hotel, adding to the £75 petrol cost.
Not such a bargain after all.
