I seem to recall that Neil McLelland(?) from Norfolk drove around the coast of Britain around 20 years ago. Perhaps there will be a report on his exploits somewhere that could be very useful, especially as regards the distance and time taken for each leg of the journey.
I think Tony's suggestion that the Round Britain Challenge would finish on the opening day of the Centenary Rally would be quite remarkable if it came off. I have organised plenty of long distance trips but I wouldn't be confident predicting the exact number of days needed to circumnavigate the British coastline!
Accommodation around the Scottish coast is scarce, particularly since the advent of the North Coast 500. I would consider having a back-up motorhome or campervan.
I know a chap who has an MG TC which has a plaque on the dashboard proclaiming that it completed the Round Britain Challenge. It doesn't mention that it was done in about six sections and the distance travelled on the Recovery Service vehicle far exceeded the mileage it did under it's own steam!
Mind you, what do you expect with an MG?
