Just been asked that question and can't find it anywhere. I know it's not as far as last year but it must be 700 miles is it not?

Whealie (Wing Commander, @ Airborne Division)
Two XRV750-M ('91) RD04s on J ('92) plates.
Laser Pro Duro, crash bars, bark busters, heated grips, GPS, topbox, Alu Boxes, Scotoiler, Starcom, ciggie lighters and XRV stickers.
Also, central coms ought to set up a Twitter feed for the event and regularly tweet as the plan develops, but particularly on the day itself.
As we all call in our progress and send in photos, as well as updating the site, it would be great to tweet.
Robster, why not set up a Longest Day Facebook Page too?

It´s about 700 miles inc. the distance by ferry - around 560 miles actual riding.
The route planner had the mileage on it - I think it was about 650 from memory as it's been removed until needed

The Google maps version in Important information thread is the only route on the forum that is up to date
we were getting too many threads with routes and it was confusing
so Important info has the link to Google maps and when Robster gets five minutes the website will be upgraded to show the same
