I also had food poisoning & hadn't slept in 2 days, probably the worst journey in my life.
Then last month I drove to Newcastle and back in a day to part exchange my Skoda for the BMW. 13 hours of driving, 700 miles.
But saved £1k on the market value of the car, as cars seem to be cheaper in the north of England.
