A coach trip around the "iconic" M25 offered by a Brighton bus company has sold out.

The trip - the first of four planned throughout the year - involves a four-hour drive around the world's biggest ring road for the bargain price of £15.

Among the thrilling sights en route are Epping Forest, Heathrow Airport's Terminal Five, Lakeside shopping centre and "the magnificent" Dartford River Crossing bridge.

Of course, there are many more exciting things to snap pictures of for the family album and it all comes with with guided commentary to give "a whole host of fascinating facts" about the UK's most talked about road.

And if that was not enough excitement for you, passengers will not be told in advance which way around the ringroad they will travel.

"We'll drive you up the A23 and A25 to begin our tour at Junction 7 on the M25," says the Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company blurb.

"We're keeping it as a surprise whether we'll travel clockwise or anti-clockwise but suffice to say, all the great opportunities to see the amazing sights around this iconic motorway will be available."

The AA is surprised there is much appetite for such a tour of what is sometimes described as the road to hell.

Sounds enthralling. Anyone booked?

Sadly the first one has already taken place today.

"The 38 day-trippers embarked on their 188km (117 mile) journey this morning, hitting the M25 at about 11:30am at junction six at Godstone in Surrey.

Each paying £15, the coach-goers were picked up from Worthing and Brighton on the south coast before being told they would be venturing around the motorway in a clockwise direction.

The tour promised 'great opportunities to see the amazing sights around this iconic motorway' and Dan Thompson, a passenger from Worthing who 'always wanted to go on an M25 tour', kept us updated with their progress via his Twitter feed."

The twitter feed looks as exciting as I imagine the actual tour would be. I cannot remember any "amazing sights" on the stretch I have driven on before. Must have missed the Ovaltine factory....
