Id say your boss is on the money, you won't manage it in a day!
Best of flying into Southampton airport then hoping on a train to Pompy.....its right next door....That's unless you need to take a car.

So 8 hours allowing for hold ups which is inevitable on UK roads....

Bloody hell, that long?
I can get from Valencia to Bordeaux which is an extra 100miles in less time than that!
Shows how crap it is to travel any distance in parts of the UK
(to put it in perspective I've made it to from Dudley to Zarautz in under 15hours - 940miles including breaks....will probably beat that time once the French finish upgrading the N10)

I regularly used to do Guildford to the lakes and that would take 6-7 hours in a car, 8-9 hours more like.
