Sleeping to Inverness Part 4

September 23-24

We packed our bags and tubed it to Euston station during rush hour and with a rugby World Cup match on!  We even had a plan to reunite should we get separated/lost/forget where we were going.  However, under Hilary's excellent leadership we made it to the Caledonian Express, our overnight sleeper train.
Ready to board at Euston Station
All aboard!


Presenting our tickets

































Caledonian Express
Lounge car:  tea, single malt and a bumpy ride


















Cheers or slaint!
























Arrive in Inverness and hop on the train to Dingwall, a 30 minute ride.
Cycling rules!

The light, the light!

Ditto

5 people, 10 pieces of luggage, a large tube (canvas for Wayne), 1 small car. 
 All of us crammed into Hilary's 'wee' car and set off for Foulis Castle (pronounced something like Fowlz), seat of the Munro clan. Hilary lives in one of the estate cottages and we are to spend the next 4 days in a flat built into the castle wall!!!!
