340 Mile Tour of England
Revised: March 11, 2007Well hasn’t today been an interesting experience! Having left home at nine this morning to get to Beck’s I didn’t think I would be returning so late in the evening let alone so tired. It has however been a most excellent day, we got to Kent at just after one o’clock, twenty minutes late to meet our actor and the guy we where renting a car off of. Soon after we arrived we where back on the road, driving to the film location in a convoy of three cars. I ended up parking my car half way up a field close to the location so it was out of the way and not in any of the shots. Later on the farmer who owned the field turned up in a big crop spreader thus I was worried he would a) be angry at us trespassing and B) tell me off for parking in his way. Neither happened, he was quite friendly and didn’t mind me parking there at all, and it turned out I wasn’t in his way at all as he could go through another field to get to where he was heading - he even showed some interest in what we where doing and wished us good luck before continuing up the dirt path to spray his fields.
Filming went well also, we got all the shots we needed and hopefully they shall prove their worth as the entire day cost quite a lot of money. After filming we all felt the need for the pub and thus I drove us towards Britain’s first non smoking pub, a fantastic, traditional, old pub on the way to Bluewater. I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s name is, other than it is easily my favorite to visit. We all had a drink and then I drove us back the interesting way… through London! Haha, yes London, it proved to be an interesting escapade and paid off I think; seeing as we got home in good time with out too much congestion in our way.
So yeah, all in all 340 miles in total today. We drove a hell of a lot more last weekend and pretty similar the weekend before so I would guess that all in all I have driven 1000 miles for our latest film
