We often hear our guests around the breakfast table discussing how fast their holiday is going, it must be something to do with being busy, as we certainly have been here at Roslin Cottage B&B. Over the past weeks between guests and garden it has been all go but mustn't grumble.
Many of our guests have come by pedal power using Route 7 sometimes assisted by using www.saddleskeddadle.co.uk to bring on their luggage to us which I must admit would be the way I would do it if I was cycling from Glasgow to Inverness. It is a beautiful route by car and until the A9 is dual carriage way all the way probably a lot safer too.
But British Rail don't make it easy for folks wanting to bring their own bikes as it seems there is only space for 2 or 3 bikes on each train and even then you cannot book online when you do your ticket. To book your bike on at the same time means phoning to their call centre in India which does not seem the most time or cost effective way to go about things. The days of the guard's van and bikes loaded on are long gone - but perhaps an enterprising person could arrange with the railway companies to get something similar set up. As they say we have managed to put men on the moon so maybe we can get bikes back on the trains.
