I am up for it in my Berlingo, so I can help with trasport of kit on the trip.
My plans are
-to go from Basingstoke to Clapham the night before and stay overnight recharging.
-have great fun on the trip
-head back to Basingstoke from Brighton.
As Bighton to Basingstoke is just out of range for me at 65 miles, is there someone near the following route that could give me a 2 hour recharge ?

I'd love to do it but I cant see a way of getting to London to start with or back again

certianly not in the Blingo
Rob, dont forget you've got to get over the southdowns
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
another battery killer, think your pretty brave thinking you'll be able to do it to be honest.
From where I am, I'm getting a trip distance of 47.8 miles to Brighton most of which is on high speed duel carraige way
![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
and thats just not an option for me, unless I do about 40mph or less, and thats just not safe on high speed roads
![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
if I try and avoid the those bits it starts to increase the mileage to silly amounts
Getting the London from here is a complete non starter with not only the southdowns to get over but having a distance of 70 miles
Game over
I'm not quite sure if its my batts thats arnt very happy or ??????? but I dont know how you guys are getting the ranges your getting, yes I have got 63 odd miles out of mine once but that was with some pretty carefull driving and running the pack to zero and beyond which then took a good 8hrs to bring it back and even then the energy meter wasnt very happy for the next 1/2 dozen cycles.
I tend to be doing about 45 miles regularly. If I put her onto a motor way or the likes then 40 max I would think. Mind you I tend not to run the pack down to much and rarely take it below 20% or even get the eco light on so perhaps I'm not giving them enough punishment
So unless I can locate a trailer and vehicle with tow bar its a bit of a non starter for little old me. I will try and poke my nose into the event mind you
