I also remember the alternator packing in just after leaving Essex & managing over 200miles on battery charge alone before managing to borrow a charger for the night! After fixing both of those issues the cambelt snapped at the end of my road in Chelmsford the day after we got back destroying the engine :oops:
I've tried to blot some of these memories from my mind as they were so painful :rofl:

But the trip was worth the effort? Hope the GF appreciated your efforts! :lol:
Sadly my gf is no longer with us, but it was a memorable trip thanks :)

My fathers ashes are by Stob Dearg/Buchaille Etive Mor in one of your photos. Great memories of great days. Thanks for posting your superb photos. :thumbsup:

Looks like that's a trip going on my list ,by the sound of it a couple of overnight stops sound beneficial.
