If I'm struggling with manual exposure on color negs I just aim for like 2 stops over what I estimate and it'll probably be fine.
(With monochrome I just use the aperture/shutter speed I want for the shot unless it's obviously far too dark. I expose slides carefully, usually.)
I usually try and over expose by around 1 stop, not sure if it was just the changing light but these ones with my family and the castle were just all over the place.
I'd probably have metered from the shaded wall of the castle minus a stop and not changed it for cloud cover.
It's interesting to hear how others would go about it.
