💡 Good to know
- The reviewed shoulder-season baseline still requires same-day heat, weather, roadworks, traffic and site-access checks across the long cross-country corridor.
- Winter interior conditions or peak summer heat make this 1,280 km baseline date-sensitive; these months need separate review.
