Right then.

Thanks for all your helpful advice. I have now booked one night in a B&B near Stirling to break the journey and a week in a B&B in Dingwall with the option to extend it if needed. The B&B in Dingwall have agreed to give me a cheaper than advertised rate for the longer stay. So now I have to get everything here done in the next few days, ready for the long journey starting on Sunday.

You know, it used to take about 14 hours door-to-door when I lived in Philly. This (because I really can't do the drive all in one go) will take about 28 hours. Hmmm.

28 hours! you can drive from one end of the country to the other in that time! how far are you going?

but good for you for making a decision and going with it!

It's about 450 miles. Google reckons it will take about 8 and 1/2 hours to drive, and I reckon it will take me more than that since I only have a little car which will be full of stuff, and I don't go specially fast anyway. There's no way I'm doing that in one day, since I don't have anyone to share the driving with. So I'll leave at about midday on Sunday and arrive mid-afternoon (or maybe a little earlier) on Monday.
