Please God, don't let there ever be a South-West Coast 300...

I think you'll find there already is a SW500 if I recall, it's been a thing for years in car clubs. It's not really to much to use ones imagination and map or even to start in the south and keep the sea to your left or start in the north and keep it to your right.

As this corner of the world is already packed I doubt that we’ll be getting a SE500 anytime soon…hopefully.

Can someone please invent an 'Inside the M25' 500, and publish it widely?

Those of us who can actually plan a route independently can then enjoy the rest of the country :D

Just call it the LOM117, keep going to the end you'll soon hit 500 miles :-)
I had a misspent youth moment on the London Orbital Motorway with a company car at 3am in the 80s.

The newly-completed M25 was a racetrack for Yuppies back in the day!

Guilty as charged Ferrari 308, not a yuppie but a truck technician working near Heathrow.

In the late '80s, one of the bike magazines put a false plate on a Suzuki GP500 two stroke race bike and rode it on the M25 and North Circular in the middle of the night... 8-) . They said the noise was unbelievable as it echoed off the cars and buildings. I think I've still got the magazine in a box somewhere...

We use booking.com and opt for free cancelation...just in case...which we've used a couple of times, mainly due to mechanical failures rather than pi55 poor planning :) .
