Default Is this a step too far?

In April this year, The Sunday Times published just 8 routes in the Travel section that each of their writers nominated as "their most memorable road trip ever".

Now, they nominated routes in Tasmania, Morocco, Switzerland, the USA (x2), Argentina, France and......

.......Scotland!

The Scottish route was Ullapool to Thurso, via Cape Wrath (in the news just now as the MOD is trying to buy the last bit for a firing range! So you might never be able to go there again.)

There's a cracking circular route from Inverness, returning via Tain on the east coast.

Now, this is probably a route that would require an overnight stay somewhere but I wondered if there were any of you daft enough to consider this as a 2 day Scottish meet, possibly in the Spring next year.

If there's enough interest (and speed limiters/partners would be welcome), then I'll start researching dates, a hotel and timings. Just add your name to this thread....
