After setting a 7:30 alarm to ensure we left the house promptly between 8 and 8:30… we set off on our Scottish adventure at 9:20 so not quite to the printed schedule of events.

Filled the car with half the house, more shoes than sense, a large selection of midge repelling products and two large paddleboards and we were off!

First 2 hours of the journey driven by Mary. Break at Knutsford services for scones and coffee.
