I would use an exposure meter in such circumstances (Hi, George!).  The
"sunny16" rule becomes increasingly difficult to use as you get far away
from
midday sunny conditions.   There are guidelines you can use for these
conditions, but you will burn a lot more film bracketing than you really
need
to if you start with a fairly good meter reading.  IMO, as always.

(I've just switched to a new computer/email software so I apologise in
advance
if this message is garbled or contains undesirable attachments.  If I
notice
anything when I receive it, rest assured I will take immediate corrective
action.)
