12th October 2022 - Trip To Scotland 2023.

Published on 13 October 2022 at 12:56

Good Evening Folks.

Tonight Lynne n me had a good chat about the trip to Scotland.

She is coming with me :) :) 
And I am over the moon about this...

The main points covered were, that we will break the journey in two, to make it easier on me.

we will need to get a powered wheel chair or something similar, that is happy to go uphill on grass......

The final thing we covered tonight, is were we are gonna stop on the way to Scotland.

we have decided of 3 options - Purely based on mileage's.

As we do not know what I will be able to do, we have chosen 3 destinations :-

1.  Scotch Corner, which is approx 148 miles from home.

2. Penrith, which is approx 197 miles from home.

3. gretna Green, Which is approx 226 miles from home.

The plan at this stage is to stay there approx 3-4 days, so I can rest,

but with the powered chair, we can still go out exploring :) :) 

The other main topic we discussed is transport !

Altho we would love to ride CBRTIM, I am not sure that not only will I be up to the ride up there, plus using the bike as everyday transport.....
But we will still be trying our best to get it ready for sprayers by the end of this year.

So at this time the transit is the favoured mode of transport, again we have a lot of work to do to get the transit ready for such a journey, making sure that everything makes my life easy, and anything we use, quick to assemble and breakdown, compact as possible, plus as light as possible.

That's it for today's update, 
we seem to be on the same page, which is great news.

The rest of the time in Scotland will be unplanned as such, we have some destinations in mind. That we knew Timothy Loved and we did when we went there in 2013 with Val & Donald.

But as the reason for the trip is to see if we can sort me out and that we become a happy couple once more.

Whether we see a marked improvement in my fight with the black dog, then we will have a huge decision to make, Do we stay or do we go back home ?
That will like many choices will be left fluid, but one we will be discussing at times.


Now I am gonna take things a bit easy ready for the test drive on Saturday and to pickup the Sink/Cooker unit.

but more about that later on - not sure it fits in this album, but we will see....
