With our planned winter trip to Scandinavia cancelled due to COVID restrictions and the spread of the Omicron variant – today we embark on a shorter seven day trip to the United Kingdom and Scotland in particular. The close cooperation between Ireland and United Kingdom allows for this trip via the Common Travel Area (CTA) that predates the European Union by fifty years, being established in 1923. In operation it is very similar to the Nordic Passport Union.
This is the first time we've been in the United Kingdom with our Taycan and we are very interested to see what the EV infrastructure will be like.
In preparation for winter like conditions our car has Pirelli P-Zero Winter NF0 tyres – mounted on the 20" Taycan Turbo rims that the car came with. We left the Porsche Snow Chains behind us – not anticipating conditions that will require them with the capabilities of the winter tyres.
All day report posts:
Day 1: Dublin (Ireland) -> Edinburgh (Scotland)
Day 2: Edinburgh (Scotland)
Day 3: Edinburgh (Scotland) -> Inverness (Scotland)
Day 4: Inverness (Scotland) -> Kinloch Rannoch (Scotland)
Day 5: Exploring Cairngorms National Park (Scotland)
Day 6: Kinloch Rannoch (Scotland) -> Glasgow (Scotland)
Day 7: Glasgow (Scotland) -> Liverpool (England)
Day 8: Liverpool (England) -> Dublin (Ireland)
