Many years ago early - mid 90s, I had to work in B'ham for a couple of days, Tues & Weds, drove up early tuesday morning left mid afternoon to return to London to pick up my mates to drive down to Portsmouth for a night game. Back to London after the game and then back to B'ham for the morning. The things you do for a match.0

Pre-season 2000, We had Exeter on Monday, Plymouth on Wednesday and Torquay on Friday. I took three half days and got the overnight train back each time and went straight to work after, sod doing that again!

I once did Southend friendly on a Friday night. 1984 I think. This might not seem too far as I lived in Charlton at the time but was heading to Goran Haven near St Austell in an Allaggro with a dodgy head gasket. Took 23 hrs before we got there.
It just seemed a natural thing to do at the time.0 -

Terrific line there TT, a natural thing to do. Must remember that when I get questioned about travelling around the country/europe watching Charlton

Didn't do it myself but the winner surely would be those who went on the pre-season tour of China?
Personal best is the pre-season tour of Sweden and Finland, I'd guess a total mileage of about 3,800 over six days
Went to every game in 81/82 season (one of the most boring ever) while living in Nottingham. Certainly clocked up a few miles that season0 -

We actually had an end of season trip to Australia in about 89 if I am not mistaken. Not taking any credit from the fans who went to China though

Best I have done by Motorbike was the Scottish pre-season tour in 1991 I think. For the next biking match I fancy getting on the bike and doing Marseilles or Monaco or Inter or....0 -

Admittedly not all Charlton but this comes to mind.
Easter 68
Good Friday - home game, I think
Saturday - Blackpool away (train)
Sunday night - overnight train to Cornwall
Monday - St Austell for Cornish Senior Cup final and 3rd/4th place final
Monday night - overnight train back
Tuesday - afternoon train to Rotherham, back on overnight train
Wednesday - 0830 in the office
I'm sure we lost both games. Pasties on Monday were good, though.

Did all of those as well in the same mode of transport!
Four away games in 11days no idea of mileage.
Also went to see Supergrass on the Thursday night and Pulp on the Friday inbetween Liverpool and Portsmouth. The trip to Oldham was really bad,no end of problems on the trains that day.0 -
Living Here in perth, Western Australia, it is quite a long way back to se7!!! (bit of an understatment)
However, i have done the trip a few times, as well as my housemate @ozaddick doing it now for Bournemouth and Colchester at home.
These trips obviously take in family holidays and the like as well so not just for watching Charlton play.
Although after listening to us beat Chesterfield on Tuesday night, I have took the plunge and have booked a one off trip back for the last game of the season against the Monkey Hangers. 8998 miles Just for football, that is most I have/would done!!!
Something to celebrate helps a lot too!!!!!!0 -
