Lands End to John O'groats by car...

[KarlMac]

So I'm planning a trip next year, I've set the following way points as stopping off points. Just hoping the PH masses can give some advice on this proposed route and suggest places on the way worth visiting.

For info the car is a Skyline GTR so looking for flowing A/B roads through nice scenery rather than the really intricate balls out stuff.

Start
Lands End
Cheddar Gorge
Bath (stay over)
Brecon
Llyn Brenig (for Evo Triangle)
Windermere / Bo'ness
Edinburgh
Fort Augustus
John O'groats

Feel like the northern section really needs breaking up but I'm a bit out of my depth and looking for recommendations.

Over to PH! Will obviously be blogging the whole thing when we do it (probably next year now)

Planning to take as long as it takes to be honest. We'll book a couple of weeks off, spend the week before looking for airBNB and then take our time. Planning to spend about 5 hours ish in the car each day (we'll have our 3yo with us so don't really want to be spending long stints in the car).

I can suggest routes for the areas I know - these are biased towards larger roads and covering ground, but with some interesting bits included:

Barnstaple to Glastonbury

Glastonbury to Bath

Bath to Elan Valley (short version)

Bath to Elan Valley (long version)

Elan Valley to Evo Triangle

Awesome. Thanks for that, that's the bit of the journey I was struggling with, not done much driving in Wales.
