Late February/early March. Silly idea, or is this a good time to go?

I normally go on 2 wheels in summer. Would be great to hear of experiences and what to expect at this time of year with 4 wheels.

Thanks all . Lizard brain makes sense.
I think the option would be last minute and based on forecasts, plus point is decent accommodation will be available unlike summer which you really have to book and you are prey to the weather gods

Thinking of east Scotland, my favourite area the distillery region Ballater and the Cairngorms. Hopefully the old military road towards Tomintoul
Car will have 4WD but is a sports car and will be on winter Bridgestone Blizzak tyres

Thank you Sherman - that’s a v good point with regards hotels and restaurants being open. I do want to enjoy that aspect too so perhaps April is a better time and longer days and hopefully without the hordes of camper vans
