Day 13 - have you got the car keys?

Last post for anyone who's still with us!!

A stressful last day since we found out at about 8.30 last night that our train today from Perth to Glasgow had been cancelled along with our reserved bike spaces. There followed 90 minutes of trying to get through to someone at Scotrail, a restless night's sleep, more phone calls in the morning and then getting to the station at Inverness early to see if they could help. The end result was that we changed to an earlier train (plus bikes spaces) from Perth, but with only 15 minutes rather than the original hour between our train from Inverness arriving and our train for Glasgow leaving. As you can imagine all sorts of things could have gone wrong, but it all worked out fine with the connections and we got from Inverness to Perth to Glasgow earlier than originally planned. 

That left our last bike ride of the holiday, just ten miles from Glasgow Queen Street station to Glasgow Airport Long Stay Car Park in what was, predictably perhaps, the best weather of the fortnight.

We're home now and that's it. It's been a fab fortnight, some beautiful rides through stunning countryside in weather which has been remarkably generous by Scottish standards. Our bikes and plans proved pleasingly reliable and Lesley is delighted that her legs stayed the course. If you've not been to the Outer Hebrides and fancy a holiday that's a bit different we can definitely recommend you trying them out.

Hasta luego.

PS We both had a set of car keys just in case!!!
