A 42 hour non-stop jouney
The eruption of an Icelandic volcano shut European airspace. Swedish golfers Per Lilliefelth, Stefan Engvall and Goran Person refused to miss their tee-time on the Old Course when their flights were cancelled and instead embarked on a 42 hour non-stop journey. Driving from Sweden to Denmark where they boarded a ferry to Germany, the trio then drove through Europe to Calais, catching a second ferry to Dover. Then, finally a ten hour drive up to St Andrews.
