Depending which end you're starting from, Billy-bob, we could have a drink to send you off (no beer for you) or to celebrate the completion! (Lots of beer for you!) Can't say as I'd be much fun for the trip though; car journeys send me to sleep very easily!

Disturbing, Neko...! I should probably check the route of the A6, and indeed how to get back from Carlisle in extremis, before definitely saying yay. Yay anyway, I could use crazy japes 'n' a laff...

Yay anyway, I could use crazy japes 'n' a laff... yeah I need to do that too - just to make sure it actually does go all the way! I would feel so cheated if it "turned" into another road at some point

The A6 is a major road in England. It currently runs from Luton in Bedfordshire to Carlisle in Cumbria. As set out below (see Former route south of Luton), previously it started in Barnet in Hertfordshire and ran northwest through London Colney to St Albans and then due north via Harpenden to Luton. Running northwest from Luton, the road travels through Bedford, bypasses both Kettering and Market Harborough, continues through Leicester, Loughborough, Derby and Matlock before going through the Peak District to Bakewell, Buxton, Stockport, Manchester, Chorley, Preston, Lancaster, Kendal and Penrith before reaching Carlisle. South of Nottingham, the road is parallelled by the M1 motorway, and north of Manchester the M6 motorway approximates its course. (Plus I was thinking of the A44 Oxford-Aberystwyth which is comparatively a bit crap!)

Any further shakes on this, Billy-bob? Was considering it at the weekend, I must admit I'm warming to the idea!

Works for me! ;D I just realised something too; aircraft aside, the furthest North I've ever been is the Trafford Centre in Manchester - so you could be involved in setting a new milestone in Neko's life!
