I can actually elaborate on my time up there if anyone is interested. Theres even a infosec angle.
I don’t understand why this is a question. Why would you not elaborate?
I have a weird urge to do those sorts of road trips, probably because I’ve seen a lot of video that only shows the most interesting bits and it’s not something I can easily do here… the northernmost roads of the uk are decidedly not very remote, and tend to be choked with campervans.
