It appears I lied anyway, Phil, since 1000 miles would be almost a round-trip for me, not one-way.
Anyway I see that you're only around 125 miles from the POL meet near Redditch in April, so maybe that's a good starting point for meeting your new Two-Sixties friends, me and geriatric Olive included -- that will be the 1000 mile round trip for me (Olive's nearing the 333,333 kms., but still up for it!).
