First long road trip and other adventures.

It’s a glorious island.

It is indeed and the Cuillins are a feast for the old eyeballs.

Left Woking for Southampton today. Searched for "high speed EV charger" online.

Found rapid charger at Lidl in S.hampton. Only one proper rapid one there and it's in use. Wait till it's free. Charge to 50 pc, then set off for Beaulieu.

Some nice motors there, but my OCD twitches at an Allegro which, while it strictly has a correct "1970s" label, as it is the Allegro 3, it squeaked in right at the end of 1979.

Disappointed there were no EV chargers at Beaulieu.
Also disappointed there was no separate display of electric vehicles, from the early ones 1899 onwards to the milk floats, Enfield's etc to the current day.

Edit: there was a hacked open Tesla, showing all the HV stuff, but it was kind of on its own, with no context.

Mrs S took some pics of some MGs. I shall post them soon. Spent some time in the New Forest (always a thrill with the wildlife) and tomorrow we are off to see a relative of Mrs S in Worthing.

I use the Zapmap app to check, and I can see some ev charging points there. This app is quite useful so you can search when you need some rapid nearby charging point. Hope this helps.
