Question for the Brits...

[blinkmeat]

I'm writing a movie right now and the main character is from Harrogate, but attends Cambridge University. In the story he needs to drive back to Harrogate... I just did a little search on Google and it seems the two cities are some 200km's from each other. Is this right?

here's a link (http://www.mapquest.co.uk/cgi-bin/mqtrip?link=btwn%2Ftwn-ddir_uk_basic_main&uid=u3zct7q3och0i7na%3A25h0ba942a&avoid_ferry=&avoid_lmtd_access=&avoid_toll_roads=&route_type=&results_display_mode=&ADDR_0=&city_0=CAMBRIDGE%3A522068%3A1110&ZIP_0=&CC_0=GB&ADDR_1=&CITY_1=HARROGATE&ZIP_1=&CC_1=GB&LangOpt=1&dir.x=60&dir.y=7)

Looks like it's about 153 miles by road

Yeh Harrogate is up in Yorkshire (fairly close to York itself actually), whilst Cambridge is a lot further south. It's possible to drive the distance of course, but it would pretty damn impossible to do that on a daily basis to University (if that's your question?!)

Alright thanks.
