Chris says:
I have not indicated trains, as these seem to have been so erratic in recent times that I thought it best that folk should plan their own travel arrangements. However, most rail travellers will I think come from Edinburgh to Inverness. The ferry from Nigg to Cromarty goes half hourly until 18.15, so there should be no problem with this. I am making the assumption that we shall have enough cars to transport everyone during the two days; we shall have my car and presumably that of Sandy and Anne Allan , which should suffice.
People interested in joining the party should contact me by email, indicating if they will come by car (offering how many seats to other members), or if they are hoping to be picked up at a railway station, or wherever. Most train travellers will come to Inverness, but the nearest relevant station is in fact Tain.
