Yes Fatmax, I’ve done RTTS. 😊

It was all going so well till you mentioned bag pipers.

Apologies if this is a slight hijack. I was out for a wee cycle with my daughter today and she asked much the same thing as nobeer. I made a last minute decision to do the ride to the Sun a couple of years ago, but couldn’t get my bike on the train all the spaces were booked. fatmax or anyone, any advise on how two people might get to the start from Edinburgh? Is it just pot luck on being able to book the train before anyone else?

They add to it honest!

@gauss1777 – the local Scouts put on x5 buses from Davidson Mains (Tesco) and bike carriage down to Carlisle, so that’s ~250 folk. We’ll announce details on that soon 👍

@fatmax – thanks that sounds ideal.

Alternatively train from Glasgow? Bit of a faff and possibly full as well
