Travel Booked

We'll that's my travel booked. Apparently there are very limited spaces for bicycles on trains, but you can't book a space more than 12 weeks in advance. However today I managed to book myself and my bike on a train to Wick using National Express East Coast Trains. Before I knew about the 12 week booking restriction and wasn't able to book my bike on the train, I was thinking of alternatives. One of which was to catch the ferry from Aberdeen to Kirkwall in Orkney and then catch another ferry from there to Scabster. Surprisingly this was about the same price.

As for the journey home, the cost of a train ticket from Penzance back to Aberdeen was extortionate but I've managed to get a good deal on a one way car hire instead.
