The Journey North. Day 24.  Tuesday 15th May 2018

From: Loch Lomond               To:  78 @ Plymouth  GR:                  Mileage:

We had a leisurely start to the day. We wandered around the old steam paddle wheeler that was being renovated on the Loch. This was a huge labour of love. As usual this was being conducted by volunteers with some European or Lottery funding.

We strolled, in no immediate hurry. Once finished we loaded up and started South. The real South. Towards Plymouth. We thought we would probably stop overnight somewhere in the vicinity of Birmingham but Jackie behind the wheel was in charge. We departed at 1045hrs and before we knew it were stopping outside no 78 at 2045hrs. She had driven the 510 miles all the way with only me assisting by feeding her with Maltesers!

A great trip. I would recommend it. The weather for us could have been a lot better but if we waited for sunny days we would never go anywhere.

Give it a go.
