This weekend was preparation - finishing the half hood so I have a modicum of weather proofing on a really wet day; and playing with maps to design the trip logo:
The plan is a RHOCar club organised tour of the Scottish Highlands, around 6 cars expected on the full trip with some more possibly joining on particular days. I'm starting at the wrong end of the country so I tacked on one more day to get north, and another south at the end.
A Mixture of cars expected: Zero, 2B, Stylus, MK...
Should be interesting and potential for some stunning driving and views & a real challenge for the car. I'm starting a day early to meet up in the midlands, joining the rest of the group on day 1 on the journey north and when we get to Scotland.
Overall Schedule:
- Prologue: 18th April: Maidstone to Notingham
- Day 1: 19th: Falkirk
- Day 2: 20th: Dornie
- Day 3: 21st: Inverness
- Day 4: 22nd: Dunfermline
- Epilogue: 23rd April Dunfermline to Maidstone
Overall Distance
- Approx 1,410 miles
Weather on the long range forecast courtesy of the Met office is looking mixed, so it wont be boring sun, looks more like some drama so we know we are in Scotland; the only 'bad' weather would be fog/mist which means no view...
Met Office weather:
Highlands Outlook for Friday 18 Apr 2014 to Sunday 27 Apr 2014:
Probably a good deal of dry weather at first, especially for central parts of the UK. It may be cloudier with patchy rain in both the northwest and far south. Northeastern parts are most likely to have the best of the weather through the Easter weekend. Temperatures generally near average and winds mostly light. Current indications then show a gradual change to more unsettled weather across most parts from Easter Monday and into the following week, with cloudier conditions and showers or longer spells of rain, particularly in western areas. Any drier and clearer periods are expected to be limited. It will become windy at times too, with temperatures mainly above average but slightly below under any rain. Confidence in the change to more unsettled weather is currently fairly low.
