Driving 260 miles will tire you out, especially as you then have to do it all again.
If you can share the driving, do so.

Motorways are boring, then you walk 10 miles around the park and occasionally use up a bit of energy getting thrown about, then you're back on the boring motorway in the dark.
See if your insurer will add him for a short time.

I drove to Wales a month after passing my test an im the only one that can drive,took three hours.
As long as you stop every so often an walk round,have a drink anything to get you outta the car for a bit you'll be fine
