How far is that then, and will you do it North to South or South to North? Or both!

plenty of people in wheelchairs enjoy an active sporting life.

The Scottish Borders are nice, but if the weather turns there isn't much to keep four kids amused Kevin Disagree with you on that one Kevin. If you do Peebles, Innerleithan, Gala, Melrose, Kelso you san stop by at three swimming pools, and there seems to be a stately home with cafe and adventure pl...

In Scotland try www.scotcourts.gov.uk . However to really know what happened, you have to be there.

Have a look at following the Tweed through the Scottish Borders.

Are you able to travel to start point by Car? At the distances you suggest you wouldn't really need to make the route circular. One of you could cycle back to get the car on the last day.

Thanks Loafer, I know Applecross, the pub, campsite and the Pass :twisted: Ardnamurchan I looked at, it'll cost a day's ride so I'll check at the last minute whether the time's available. It's currently set out as a 16 day ride, I might be able to gain a day somewhere further south. suspect you can...

My Brother in law and I were doing a short triathlon today. Sadly he noticed the 20' chain and yacht anchor that I had tied to his seat post. and at no point did he stop and wait for me to catch up.

Inverness to Edinburgh is probably four days, although I did it in just over 3 days, by cutting the corner from Aberdeen to the Moray Firth Coast at Spey Bay. I was travelling light and staying with friends an relatives...

So is there some way that an honest motorist can influence proceedings to cause a just and fair compensation from their insurers? The insurance coy will ask you for your side of the story. Nothing wrong with telling them that you had just done something stoopid, feel terrible about it , know that yo...

Thanks for all the very helpful replies. I used to post on CTC forumsome time ago, and I have to say it seems a much better place to be now! Anyone know what the city night line attitude to tandems is? We will have two solo's and a kiddy back tandem.

Thanks Tam. I am a bit further North than you though. Not much further to Esbjerg than it is to Harwich. I really need a departure from further North for it to be practical, but unfortunately its not looking good

I thought there was a ferry from Newcastle to Denmark, but I can now find no information about it. Anyone know if the route has been terminated and if anyone is talking about running it again?

Just relying on Mrs W's experience. Bolt holding the hanger in place sheared when she went large to large, after months of being told not to because 1. it wears the chain, 2. knackers the teeth, and 3. you don't need to to find your desired gear.
