💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~11.3 hours of daylight in February — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- The drier window gives the best weather margin, but current fuel, power, payment and transport disruption still requires every service and road leg to be reconfirmed.
- Heavy transit: day 3 (6h15) runs over 6 hours in transit. Around 5 days would keep daily travel comfortable on this route — or keep the dates and start each of those days by 08:00.
