Shopping spree

For the preparations we have a shared Google Documents file with list of items we want to have with us. It is much longer than the one on this page! I have ordered several items online and bought some from the local store for the bicycling trip. I think most of them are necessary but I hope I wont have to use some of them.

Preparations update

We have now booked train tickets with bicycle reservations. The routes are Edinburgh-Oban and Inverness-Edinburgh. The Ullapool-Inverness will be done by bus.

Physical preparation has been going on as well. We have made a test trip of 15km with loaded panniers and we did not encounter any serious issues. So, things look good but there are still plenty to do.
