mini? That's about as big as UK road trips get isn't it? I think vision ego's would be good for road trips, they hold plenty, and are easy to refill, would take a few seconds at a toilet stop, and would only need refilling once or twice for each leg. Hope you have a good time gaz, and most importantly a safe journey.

Yep, some road trip. We drive north from the Scottish Borders every summer and that's bad enough. I pressume you're going up the dreaded A9? Why didn't you ask for advice sooner? I'd have advised a passthrough with a car adaptor Visions are a good idea, if you get on with them. Alternatively while your poor wife is busy ironing you could pre-fill some cartos I'll be buying more pre-filled cartos in the GB. Very handy to have for these situations, cheap from HC and refillable after the journey. So what kit are you planning to take? Whatever you decide have a good trip, inverness is nice and hopefully the weather will be reasonable and you can go to the coast, the Moray coastline is fab!

Yes, the scenery is nice, i'm just bored with it, that road seems neverending. If you need to pull over for a rest stop Ralia is nice it's just before Aviemore! Pity the fag lighter doesn't work. Just make sure you have plenty charged batteries

Is the fag lighter issue just that a fuse has gone? usually is.

Full 6ml tank if you have one, a 10 ml bottle of juice and several fully charged batteries.

Good tip alvo - I had exactly the same problem. Mind you, finding out which fuse was a challenge when I did it as it didn't say in the handbook and I had to do some serious Googling!

hot wire the passthrough to your battery and vaope at 12 volts
ONLY KIDDING
6ml tanks for me in the lorry with three mods all with different flavours, bottles, spare bats and a couple of cartos sees me through the just in case period (well you never know) the tanks last me about 3 days on each

It is signposted, start looking out for it about 20 miles before Aviemore! I thought the speed cameras were yellow here
