[Leica] LUG newbie going to scotland with M6TTL - is it really *that* cloudy?

["rich" <junkie@happyrobot.net>]

Hello LUG,
First time poster - long time reader.

I am a recovering semi-professional photographer who recently decided to
start selling off his extra nikon and studio gear because, well, they rarely
get used anymore. after seemingly 100 years of research, I purchased a
like-new M6TTL and the 35/f2 lens and love it.
(bought it at Tamarkin)

We are heading off to Scotland in two weeks for some sight-seeing and a
wedding. I am happily toting one small bag for my M6 and the necessary extra
film and batteries and distillery souvenirs.
I would love to just bring one film stock with me, which would normally be a
100 or 160 film, but people are saying that Scotland will be rainier and
cloudier than I imagine and I might as well bring a 400asa film and/or a
tripod (don't really want to bring a tripod).

any ideas regarding film?
so far I am thinking about:

~ "regular" kodak 200
~ the kodak portrait film.. the 160 that comes in different grades of
contrast
~ Reala 100 (what I normally shoot)
~ one of the pro-grade 400asa films from either kodak or fuji


any other suggestions regarding film or, well, even general weather
conditions in Scotland?



thanks for allowing me to ramble,
