i am away biking end of next week at inners and GT and i have just realised that there is no wireless internet access at the cottage (just outside Peebles) we are staying in

What (if any) options do I have for getting connected – needed for work access for and hour or so a day

there is mobile coverage if this helps.

Get a pre-paid dongle thing with a carrier that has service in the area.

There’s a couple of pubs in Peebles that have internet access. I’ve used one of them although I forget what it was called.

this is a really good deal at the moment and will sort things out.

What mobile phone do you have?
Many can be used as a 2G or 3G modem.
