How long is a piece of string?
That's an hour and a half longer than the 230 mile A1, M11, M25 route.
You might be taking A roads that aren't the A1 or you might be piecing together a route that's mainly smaller B roads.
Are you going to be averaging 50mph at best or are you going to be averaging as fast as you're willing to go which could be 100mph or more?
Is it dinner in the middle of the day you're wanting to be there for or is it dinner in the evening? |

Allow six hours, stop as frequently or as infrequently as you want. If it's a shitty cold day then you might well want to stop a couple of times as opposed to a nice day where you can keep going until you need to stop for petrol.
You might be able to get away without stopping for petrol at all but that's subject to your riding style on the day. And we don't know how many miles your five and a half hour route is.
You're avoiding the A1 but if the journey starts to get boring, you've had enough and just want to arrive already then you can head for the A1 to speed things up a bit.
I'm sorry that all our answers are vague but there are so many variables that it's nigh on impossible to give an accurate answer. If we tell you four hours but it actually takes six then you'd be a bit pissed off whereas if we tell you six and you get it done in just over four hours then you'll get to proudly tell us how wrong we were. |

I know, i realise it is asking a pretty random question with little info. I was mainly curious if there was a rule of thumb to plan by.
Its 235 miles if i stay off a1. I do go on it for about 35 miles which i dont mind, i do go on motorways, was only avoiding boredom really. thanks for input. |
