A launderette is best because of the size of the drum. As suggested using some balls also helps break up the clumps.

In that case I think you will struggle.

You need to fluff up the down and the best way is warm air and regular movement to break up the clumps.

It may work.

Borrow a neighbour's or launderette. Worth a few quid against the cost of new.

Long low temp tumble dry?

Have a Google for the Kinross Sportive. Their red and black routes generally do that journey. I've done it twice and remember there is a long hill involved.

If you avoid the A68 and the A7 the cycling will be great.

I've never used the CTC bag but from a common sense point of view I can't see a problem with you plans.

Don't wish to be alarmist but have you read this thread:

How tall are you? A friend was selling her brothers Ridgeback tourer. It was very large. A 64 I think. He was 6' 4". The bike is in excellent condition and in Edinburgh. Rum brakes tho. I've got photos if you are the right size and interested. From my research I think it was £1400 new. I'm a t...

If you use Google maps to route Edinburgh to Stannesburn by bicycle the route it offers is the one to consider.

88 miles but nice roads for cycling.

A7 and A68 are key routes into the borders so are busy with more lorries than is ideal.

If you have time there are much nicer twisty routes through the borders. I only ever do a couple of miles on the A7 and A68 to link up the twisties.

Imagine doing the NC500 in 3 days! Just to say that you've done it. They speed around so they have no idea how brilliant it is just so they can say they have done it. Seems to be a fashion of the most recent tourist generations. We used to see people "doing Scotland" by spending a week in...

Well I'm glad I did the '500' back in 1980 before it was classified as such. Met some Scots lads recently when in Mallorca, they feel it has been ruined by defining it as a route; overpriced accommodation, sports car racers, etc etc. Yup, some of whom are now doing the entire route in one go so, ot...

I would be surprised if most motorhomes were hired in Inverness. I simply don't see there being that much demand for pickup in Inverness. There are a number of hire places in Perth, Fife and the central belt areas which are closer to the main incoming hubs of Edinburgh and Glasgow. It's also worth d...

There is no economic benefit from the motorhomes on the NC500. They damage the, already poor, roads leaving the council with the repair bill. The council could impose a tourist tax on B&B, hotels and hostels but that doesn't cover the motorhomes. I fancy one for post retirement but wouldn't vent...
