Autoroute makes it 71-and-a-bit miles by the shortest route. Excluding
motorways increases it to 74-and-a-bit, but that still leaves a lot of
A40 in the route. Unless Alan was very careful to work out the shortest
possible route 80 to 85 miles sounds entirely reasonable. It's not the
distance I'm sceptical about. :-)
