If my memory is ok, I think its just over a thousand miles return trip give or take a hundred, I am sure someone will put me right. 
hiya,
Norm i think you’ll find it’s about 830 miles one way, bit more than one hit methinks, but i bet someones done it.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry you know your distance,just had a look on AA route planner,they give it as 838 miles from Lands End to John O Groats,could be further coming from John O Groats to Lands End.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Just pleased the grey matter is still functioning Dave, seem to remember the query came up as a question on a pub quiz a long time ago the points going to the person who was nearest i think at the time i was about fifteen miles too many, must have nipped home on a dodgy that trip, which cost me the points.
thanks harry long retired.

It was actually 837 miles according to the mileometer in my AEC MK3,a longish day that was.Mind you I did have a 6-speed box.
Dave, but it would be nearer 1000, if you stop at the best nightout places, 
, not all of us have lead in their right foot. Some of us like to seek new havens and talk to the local talent ( Whoops) I ment people, I must admitt I have put pedal to the metal, but only to get to a safe resort, ( Wine ,Women,Music ) 
.
hiya,
Chris what no trip home on that one, i’m surprised but you must’nt have done unless you unscrewed the speedo cable which was a piece of cake to do on the AEC mk5 so would have been similiar on the mk3 would have looked good on the log “books” you would have needed for that one even with a twenty six speed box.
thanks harry long retired.
Harry I am on one thread saying how honest you are, and your talking of unscrewing speedo’s, what can I do with you.
hiya,
Norm if i admitted to to screwing something else would you still tell me off.
thanks harry long retired.
NO Harry, because I am not telling you off now, I was just pointing out that I had been putting you up on a pedestral, and you start talking about how to fiddle the milage! 
hiya,
Me fiddle the mileage Norm, no just passing useful information on to benifit mankind, only problem is there are’nt so many mk3/mk5 AECs knocking about these days and i’m not going to resurrect the old licence until the roads are filled with them again.
thanks harry long retired.
Just admitt Harry that you are a lovable rogue with a silver tongue that got you in trouble at least three times, that is why you were wed that a mount .
hiya,
Norm me only in bother three times, if you think that you can’t see beyond the end of your nose, try a thousand and three that would be nearer the mark.
thanks harry long retired.
Ha ha Harry,I was just being diplomatic, I thought It could be near a million , I may be wrong, I have been wrong before, but I state if you was to leave this world, and all youlady friends left a red rose on the coffin, the paulbearers would not be able to life it due to the weight.

and here was me thinking lorry driving was ran my men who were saints of the road and helped old women change their tyres in the ■■■■■■■ rain and snow and stopped at crashes to help pull poeple out crashed smoking wrecked fukced up cars, and offered them a wee cup of stewed tea out their flask, (which they wished they had refused because it tasted like ■■■■■■■■■■ and then gave them a smelly blanket which smelly senga had emptied her juices onto last night,(and some of yours) to keep them warm while the cops came to scrape their beloved off the road. now i find you are just a bunch of dirty batsrads wanting to get your end away anyone want a driver cheap very cheap
