What this sheet is for

Plan a driving trip by day, with the two things that decide how it feels: how long you are actually driving, and where you are sleeping.

Who it is for

Families on a driving holiday, campervan and caravan trips, motorcycle tours and anyone crossing a country by road.

How to use it

  1. Estimate driving time honestly, then add time for stops and traffic.
  2. Book the nights you cannot risk, and leave the rest loose if you like.
  3. Note stops worth making — the trip is not only the destination.
  4. Fill in the before-you-go line properly: service, tyres, documents, cover.
  5. Keep the sheet in the car, not on a phone in a bag in the boot.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
