clutch has been slipping in my 306 for 6 months now, if you take it gently and don't slip it at all it should make it

Just keep the revs down, accelerate gently and you should be ok as mandyslover said

a few years ago i managed to get 2k out of a clutch that slipped so bad, it slipped in 1st.
so if its only just began to slip, you've got loads of miles left!

also, swansea to bristol is mainly on the m4, which provided you don't sit in traffic through the friggin 50mph average speed check, you will put very little wear on your clutch.

A slipping clutch can last quite a while if taken easily
