Supposing circumstances allow for us to visit Caithness in the late summer- and a lot hangs attendance on that, mainly house-moving....
But supposing we are able to do it, herself does not wish to drive north- she hates long drives. Flying is also out for she avoids it where possible.
But train she does not mind, finding that a pleasure, so I have thought that we might pack panniers and bikes and head for Wick or Thurso and hire a cottage for a week.
But being carless would be a bind- and cycling from a cottage limits your range. So it was in my mind to hire an MPV for a week big enough to take two bikes with the front wheels removed- or even a car with a bike rack. Preferably to be picked up from near the station.
Nothing beats local knowledge so I thought I would ask my fellow orgers for any recommendations that may feel able to make in that line- and all knowledge gratefully received.
Especially if you are in the car hire business!! :D
