Does anyone know...

So, I'm in the final stretch of writing the Pros story that wouldn't end (it's now officially the longest thing I've ever written and heading firmly into novel length territory) and I find I need a couple of driving times. The British guidebooks I have are great on history and culture, but not so good on how long it takes to get around, and even Google has failed me.

So, does anyone know how long it would take to drive:
  • From Crossmaglen to Belfast
  • From Liverpool to London

    At least I found times for Belfast-Liverpool ferries on the net.

    Thanks in advance.

    Glad you're having fun at VVC. And try not to get too overwhelmed.

    I'm hoping I'll have a first draft of the story done in the next two weeks. I reckon I've got 10,000 words or so to go, and I've been sticking pretty well to 1,000 words a day. 2,000 yesterday. Then I'll sling it along and we can decide what to do with the sucker.

    I have sent an email off to you! I did it, *finally*! Man, I feel as proud of myself for finishing the beta of part 1 as you feel for finishing the whole damn story, I think! *g*

    And yeah, hard not to let VVC feel overwhelming. It's fun, too, it really is - but I *always* have mixed feelings about this con. I'm home now, though, and my brain, hopefully, will recover fairly soon. :-)

    The more I hear about VVC, the more I think I need to stay far, far away from it. Not that I'll be able to think of going for the next couple of years.
