Robjh's wee tour of the Highlands

Hope you manage to get the wheel repaired/replaced @robjh

When I stayed in the Manchester youth hostel earlier this year I didn't have photo Id with me but they accepted my bank card (I had already paid online). I can't believe you were turned away that's terrible.

Hope you can continue your trip

I've been looking and a few actually say 'photo ID required' 'eg. the one at Fort William, so I won't be staying there tonight

Good luck with the wheel

I phoned the YHA beforehand and was told my bank card would be ok but maybe Scottish association is different.

Bummer. Am also home 2 days early for other reasons. Hope you can fix the hub. Storms on west coast by weekend!

Hope you're OK Fab Foodie.

I'm back on the road thanks to Nevis Cycles at Fort William, who sold me a new wheel. The hub was well and truly, grindingly, knackered.
So I'm goinng to head back to Mallaig and pick up my trail, with only about a day lost.
The train ride from Mallaig to FW was magnificent, and now I want to see some of those sandy beaches from bike level.

Good to hear you are mobile again.
Keep an eye on the forecast, Sunday could be a bit rough

Well that, being turned away from a hostel, a few midge bites and a storm on its way. Nothing serious

Late to the thread but I would have recommended Nevis Cycles, so all's well that ends well.
