[Closed] [Bob] Luggage Trailer Hire near Aviemore?

I've got various day rides planned for our family trip to the Cairngorms next weekend, but as ever am thinking that day rides might be missing the point slightly. I think the family would be well up for some touring, but apart from the awesome WHW trip a few years back we've done zero overnighters. The main challenge being carrying all the kit.

I'm not going to buy all the clobber for four bikes/ people and there's no way the wee one ( not that wee any more, but lazy as hell) will carry all his kit on his back. So I'm thinking a Bob trailer or something similar would be excellent.

Outfit Moray seem to hire them, but are a long way from Laggan. Anyone know a place nearer Aviemore that might hire a trailer for a few days.

Or even better, anyone know anyone who used to be really into Bobbing but is now starting a family and would like to swap it for a two seater Chariot Cougar 👿😀😄🤔

I think Bothy Bikes have trailers of various types

Ticket to Ride in Inverness definitely have one. I've used it.

How are you getting there?

I looked up something similar recently, there's a place in Stirling - SAS Adventure

If Andy at https://m.facebook.com/backcountry.scot/ doesn't have one, I'm sure he will know who does.
