I can hear the argument with the CAA now;
-"You are planning to fly from A to B"
-"Yes"
-"But the actual and forecast weather incicate that it will be IMC on that flight"
-"I know"
-"You can not legally do that unless you have an IR or IMC"
-"I know"
-"So You are not going to fly from A to B then?"
-"Yes I am - I am going to remain VMC at all times"
-"How can you do that in IMC?"
-"I am going to fly in VMC until I have to turn back"
-"OK so your are departing flying down the road turning round and flying back" Yes that is OK because that planned route is VMC.
OK that is a different plan then. Never plan to fly in IMC unless you are qualified and the aircraft appropriate.
