How far would you go ?

Since I was bored, and I was curious, after Froggys comment about me being one of the most travelled roboteers around, I worked out how far Ive travelled in the past year (2007):

Swindon - 36.8 miles
BMW - 247.2 miles
Wigan - 320 Miles
AWS 22 - 85 miles
Magna - 300.4 miles
Colchester - 275 miles
Burgess Hill - 228 miles
Mold - 350 miles
RR Ayelsbury - 82 miles
RR Northampton - 120 miles
RR Guildford - 160.2 Miles
Space Center - 154.6
RL Exeter - 275.4 Miles
UK HW champs + Hemel Hempstead
190.8 miles Oxford to Phwelli, 234.8miles Phwelli to HH, 68.8 miles HH to Oxford) = 494.4 Miles!
RR Doncaster - 312 miles
RR Portsmouth - 204.4 Miles
AWS 24 (Ickenham) - 115 Mile
Robochallenge ThinkTank - 121.6 miles

= 3881.6 Miles

Its obvious Ill go anywhere for an event, but how far would you go for one ?

Answers on a postcard :P

Wow Dave, thats pretty far!

Makes our two/three times a year trip down from Scotland seem like a quick five minute jaunt in comparison :)

Just thinking about it actually, I dont think anyone can trump Jonno this year in terms of miles racked up. Singapore and Doha just take the biscuit! :)

i was just gonna say i can beat you in 1 event jonno would win hands down

will try to work it out later but only for 2008:wink:

johnno has beat me by singapore :P:):)

Yeah, Jonno would go over me easily, but for those of us not jet-setting to Doha and Singapore...I think just under 4000 miles is a lot for a guy on public transport the entire year

Here is how far we have travelled

Last year we travelled 2732 miles to events

this year so far we have travelled 1726 miles

so thats a total of 4458 miles

Ive added it up, with the events Ive done so far this year is 2142.8 Miles, but that does include my trip to Eindhoven for AWS 25
