Note to Chris....he'll certainly not be doing it this year!


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Just booked train tickets today. Grimsby to Edinburgh to Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh to Plockton to Dingwall to Wick and back home via Inverness, Edinburgh and Donny for a total of £61!!!

Got a Travellodge booked in Edinburgh on Sunday night (21st Oct) for £19, and a B&B in Wick for £25 on the Tuesday. Just got to sort out a place to stay in Plockton on the Monday but if the worst comes to the worst there is the Station Bunkhouse for £12.

Really looking forward to it as it a trip I've always wanted to do.

Hope you enjoy your trip to God's country, Les! You've got to try Cullen Skink and add your thoughts to that particular posting on here...

My stepdad was Scottish Jock so I'm well versed in all things Caledonian and I have enjoyed said delicacy on a number of occasions. There is a restaurant/hotel in Plockton who advertise their famous Cullen Skink as a starter so I will have to try that I reckon with haggis. neeps. n tatties to follow.

Tickets arrived yesterday, all 21 of them!!!

Took me about 20 minute to sort them all into the correct order I need to use them. One did make me smile..on the 1434 out of Grimsby to Doncaster on the Sunday one ticket is a "Sleeper Reservation", complete with the number of the Berth I have reserved.  

£12.20 single Grimsby to Edinburgh, it'd cost you almost that much to get a cab to Cleethorpes from Grimsby station these days.
