Got my Thurso Tickets woooohoooo
I've just got back from Zakynthos and contrary to advice from some that
Scotrail send their tickets just before the day of departure, I was still ticketless this morning. I now have my tickets and the all important bike bookings after having to relate the sequence of events to yet another Scotrail employee who faxed my details to Leeds Station where I picked up a duplicate set of tickets. GNER were the epitome of quiet efficiency at the Leeds end. They'll get my business next time I travel. Currently packing for the off on Sunday morning and preparing for a 100km Audax tomorrow just to get my legs working again. It was far too hot in Zakynthos to cycle though there were some stunning roads over the mountains that I'd like to explore at a cooler time of year and when I'm considerably lighter. The traffic was extremely light and bike aware. Can't wait for this year's adventure. |

I'm looking for a blog service that can be accessed by email. The one that I've used for two years has been upgraded and no longer accepts emailed entries from a mobile phone....so much for progress... Alternatively does anyone know how to send entries via email to usenet. I've looked and can not find anything that is recent and/or works -=V=- |

I now have my tickets .... Sorry, but I forget the reason you're going to Thurso. I really hope it is for the purpose of catching the ferry from Scrabster to Orkney, a trip I'd like to make, and I will be very interested in your RRs. If you are just going to Thurso itself then I hope it's improved since I lived there in 1969/70. It /must/ have, there can't be places so depressing left in the UK any longer, can there? Mike |

It's one of the nearest places to John O'Groats served by rail. I found the place quite friendly and the council run campsite was cheap and cheerful. Orkney will have to wait another year..

I wasn't too impressed with Paisley. Wingate is just about the grimmest place I've been to. |

I look forward to your RRs. Don't forget to turn the gas off. |

I AM going to Orkney, I AM!. Well, if you're sticking to mainland Scotland, why not see if you can get into the Dounreay site using a block of cheese as a security pass as I once managed to. Don't try it with with the submarine base nearby though...... If you are just going to Thurso itself then I hope it's improved since I lived there in 1969/70.

In the 1960s I was apprenticed to Stewarts & Lloyds who had steelworks throughout Glasgow (and the Black Country, my home). I don't think you could outgrim me with anything. And I have been to a Stalin-founded steel town in Hungary too (actually not too bad, by eastern European norms). OTOH, if I produced pics of the place I have been working in this week HSE would generate enough energy not just to escape the Solar System, but probably our galaxy too. Mike |
