I end 2008 with 9941 miles. Had I gone by train to Canterbury with the family earlier today I would've got over 10,000.

Like Techniquest, I am still plodding along with the adding up.
Current total is 42,142 - still missing a few bits and pieces plus need to work out the distances for my weekend in Germany earlier this month (Oops, last month

Bloody hell, that eclipses my 19,322.25 miles by some way!!!
Leaves me wondering how some people manage such crazy figures...

When the dust settles on this crash at Colwich tomorrow, I might be out for some rare track and mileage myself this weekend...
2008 is over! I hope everyone had a good year and enjoyed their mass amounts of mileages.

Quite easy; a few trips to Europe, preferably by Eurostar......
Germany is good for racking up the miles, managed over 2,000 in five days last month - it would have been more if 103 245 had come out to play on the Monday
As previously mentioned, I have not been trying this year - just couldn't be bothered with the UK these days. Perhaps I ought to get my other half to enter - he has more time off than me and goes out a lot more. Or maybe my mate in Austria; his idea of an evening out is a quick spin from Vienna to Innsbruck and back after work (over 600 miles
hock, he also covers the whole of the system in the Austrian timetable every year (no, I'm not going to work that out!)

Ah right, fair play to that idea. Gotta be uber rich to manage to do that terribly often!

Pretty damn impressive that! I struggle to hit that in a month (only beat 2,000 in two months, January and December 2008), so I tip my hat to thou.

Fair enough really, I still have my traction running over here so I don't need foreign jaunts. But your mate in Austria, he's got good taste then! Sounds much more interesting than what the seemingly average UK adult calls an evening out!

hmmm. i've never bothered with the mileage thing before, but seen as I'm on about 750 already, though not quite as good as Mr. Robinson, I may as well give it a go this year!

Dunno what it stands for either
(anybody?), but the above is correct - plus there is also a certain amount of free travel as well.- Status
