We are doing lands end to john o groats on a tandem unsupported
But we are struggling to work out how to get us and the tandem back home again afterwards
1 - train - scotrail wont take a tandem, it is too long for the guardsvan, even with wheels removed
2 - courier is an option, but we will be finishing the ride saturday evening, so will have to wait till monday for the postoffice to open
3 - one way car hire is only possible from inverness, and getting a car big enough for the tandem will cost a fortune
the only option we think will work so far is to:
- get the tandem box couiered to the postoffice in wick
- get the tandem boxed of left with the postoffice monday morning to get couriered back home
- get train or coach from wick to inverness (but it looks like the train is only once per day, so not sure we will be finished at the postoffice in time)
- get one way car hire to home
Any other suggestions gratefully received
