I'd booked a few extra days off work around the already extended bank holiday weekend at the beginning of June for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee. I had planned one of the biggest road trips I had ever done, driving the furthest west & furthest north I had ever been in the United Kingdom. Up through the Scottish Highlands to the Isle Of Skye The Journey North It was a 400 mile journey from home to Skye, but I had planned a number of stops along the way to break up the drive & visit some sights that have been on my 'bucket list' for a while. Driving north on the M6, my beloved Lake District came & went, and I was soon passing the Saltaire on the side of the motorway signalling I was back in Scotland. After a couple of hours of driving I stopped to take a rest stop at the Cairn Lodge services - which is owned by the same company that runs Tebay services. A quick pit stop to pick up some (admittedly Scottish) snacks, and I was on my way once again. Whe
