It was a pleasure to meet up with you on the two occasions your route crossed my particular Highland playground. You certainly scored with good weather in choosing the warmest May temperatures in the Highlands for decades.
Your Aqua Blue 987.2 Cayman S also deserves a mention for coping so admirably and faultlessly on some of the most challenging roads in the UK.
I'm sure I'm not alone in looking forward to your comments on some of the more notable experiences on the individual sections of your tour.
Well done!

There's enough there for several holidays if taking more time to explore each area - are there any places that stood out that you will go back to and spend more time there?

I'm amazed at the miles!
I have just returned from a road trip From the West Midlands to Antibes in southern France, across to Italy for the Mille Miglia, up to Merano at the base of the Dolomites, up to Austria, to Germany and across France from the Alsace to the West Midlands, 2653 miles!
The M20/25/40/etc was the worst part of the trip....

It was a fantastic tour. Sure the roads we travelled were narrow but by using the passing places sensibly we had no problems. I don’t recall any road surfaces being particularly rough, they certainly weren’t a problem with my 19” wheels, PASM remained off (comfort mode), I’m sure you’ll be fine with your 20” wheels.
We had intended to return this May but had to cancel due to “you know what”!
I hope you have an enjoyable trip.
Applecross Pass is a very memorable drive, it is narrow but you just need to scan the horizon for oncoming vehicles and drop into passing places. The Cayman is a compact vehicle and very suitable for this type of road. Just watch out for pot holes which can lurk around around the corner, of course this applies to all wheel sizes.
Enjoy the trip
