It's the latter that wins the Favourite Jaunt of '09 Award, having discussed this with the LEYTR Associates who accompanied us. It really was an excellent trip, which ticked more boxes than just completing the longest settlement-to-settlement journey on the mainland: we travelled on the UK's lengthiest express coach service and the UK's longest duration bus service; we reviewed the new Megabusplus service for a trade magazine at the same time, visited the world's shortest street, found a 99p shop in Thurso that sells most of its items at prices other than 99p, were to be found wandering round Keele Services bleary-eyed at 4am and undertook the entire jaunt for less than £20.
