Mod - split from here.
I know not everyone thinks the same way (there are enough climbers who drive overnight to Italy from the UK, which is just downright dangerous and makes a great case for tachographs on cars) but personally I have Scotland from the SE in the "too far to drive in one go" bracket and would therefore only consider rail or air (or coach if I was feeling particularly cheap). I'd only drive with a stopover.
Even sharing driving it's too far, you need a decent break away from the vehicle when driving that far.
I know, but being tight they stay in the various bunkhouses and come back the next day, or drive up with a few friends to share the cost! (Speaking for myself, in the latter case).
