JUPITOUR 2010
THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS OF SCOTLAND
(A message from Howard and Jacqui Bryan the
organisers)
The Jupiter summer tour 2010 was from Tuesday 1st to Saturday
12th June inclusive
(12 nights)
2010 marks the centenary of the start of series Jowett car production in Bradford,
an event celebrated when Jowett Car Club members descended on the city over the
Spring Bank Holiday of 2010.
The Jupiter owners Auto Club mark edthe occasion too, by starting this
Jupitour from Wakefield on Tuesday 1 June. Participants of the JCC Rally to be
ideally situated to join in. The idea behind this Jupitour is to revisit some of the
wonderful places on the West Coast of Scotland to which the Bryans have sailed over the
past thirty years, except that this time the idea is to reverse the magnificent
views!
Poolewe, Westeross, a village on the north west coast
of Scotland
