I drove back from a Debian Extramadura event a couple of years ago and
18 hours driving Caceres to Calais is about right. (Steve goes faster
than me so you probably get extra time for lunch stops :-)

I'm planning to come by train from Austria, as someone seems to have
put debconf right in the middle of CUCC caving expo. 

Wookey
