Mileage Competition 2010

[Ivo]

After the 500-odd from yesterday I now have over 7,000mi to my credit

Currently sit 10th; but very close to those either side of me.

 

[Techniquest]

But I'm catching you up, even though it's not terribly quickly...

 

[gordonthemoron]

Back up to 6th, & I've another 1400 miles next week

I am about 43rd!

1131 miles I believe.

A trip along the Cwbran (sp?) Coast last weekend adds a little more to my total. Trips to London and Swanwick coming up in the coming weeks

Hmmm, either:

Cwmbran (not on the coast!)

Cambrian

or

Cumbrian

Another update taking into account my 1614 miles in Bulgaria over the past week (including over 700 miles behind Class 87s).

 

[gordonthemoron]

how fast do the 87's do in Bulgaria?

 

[33056]

Just started working out my mileage (kilometreage) from the past three weeks, currently up to just over 16,678 (miles) but there is lots more to come. I wouldn't normally mention it in the thread, but thought it best in case somebody queries my figure going up in leaps and bounds over a short period of time.

 

[43167]

Picked up a good few miles with my scotland trip last weekend, combind with a North East Rover, of which last day was today. Cumbria on Monday for what could be my last bash on the flood-ex before they finish at the end of the month.

 

[theblackwatch]

how fast do the 87's do in Bulgaria?

Certainly not as fast as the UK - there's quite a lot of staggering over there!

 

[ChrisTheRef]

Another trip to London to watch the not so mighty Wigan (pressme!) gives me 8984 miles

 

[455driver]

I have probably got 7000ish, is it too late to join in. I do have full records of all trips although the actual milage will need to be worked out, should keep me busy for a few hours.

 

[ChrisTheRef]

:roll: It's too late to join in if it's above 8984

 

[455driver]

Wont be that many, but then you never know

 

[transportphoto]

455driver - IIRC. I don't believe that miles covered when working on the train count, post one does say that it is for Leisure or Commuting purposes only...

Mileage since 1st January 2010 until 31st December 2010 only. Mileage for leisure or commuting purposes only.

My interpretation is that does include the above.

Some one confirm please.


----

EDIT = Confirmed by Jordy via Instant Messaging,

 

[455driver]

Oh I read all that before posting, it isnt work related (dont drive unfortunately :cry, all leisure or commuting miles, mainly leisure.

 

[transportphoto]

Sorry - Just assumed you were a driver by your username...

Just thought I better highlight the fact to keep it fair!

Sorry Again.

 

[455driver]

No probs, should have said so myself really, been easiest

 

[Ivo]

:roll: It's too late to join in if it's above 8984

You little so-and-so! But then again, I guess going to watch an 8-0 hammering is made worthwhile by getting to sit on a Pendo for a few hours :roll:

 

[Deerfold]

Just scraped back into the top 10 - sure it won't be for long unless I get round to working out all my underground miles to add on... Another 203 miles'll be going on on Thursday.

 

[gordonthemoron]

got a free first class return from Munich-Hannover yesterday (due to my bahncard points total), that'll be another 789 miles in July/August

 

[Deerfold]

Anyone know a good place to get mileage for Poland (mostly in and around Warsaw)?

Sadly I'm not getting the train *to* Poland as that would help my mileages rather more! (unless the volcano has another go next month).

 

[Ivo]

Why am I suddenly 13th? Sod the fact that I am only 300-ish from 9th, I am 13th! Why am I so low?

 

[37372]

Best get down to the station then

 

[wensley]

I am at 1347 at the moment. Lots of big trips soon!

 

[Techniquest]

Currently sitting on 6,195m06c, thanks to a return trip via Reading to Hereford recently. Shall be making such a trip again in a couple of weeks too, if all goes well. Which given the news I've just received, means I'll probably have to get an Explorer and put up with the buses instead. Planned GC bash now postponed again, but at least I'm 15th as of earlier this afternoon. Roll on the top 10 at the end of the year

 

[Jordy]

I've finally topped 10,000 after a day out yesterday. Not much mileage planned until the end of the month, mainly preserved (local) stuff. However, going to Pwllheli at the end of the month, and then hoping to do a 7 day rover which should boost things a good bit!

Is this going to become a Battle for the West?
