Congratulations on making it work! Sounded like a lot of stress getting that far.
2 years agoJust don't run the sailboat aground on the pillows.
2 years ago"Converted" to multi use? Sounds like it already *is*... 😀
2 years agoAbout not carrying them over the gap and gashing my ankle? Nope.
2 years agoThat's where we took the bikes...
Don't you have any regrets?
How odd: I've never come across this before (and their website still says that reservations are free). Maybe it's a post-pandemic thing? I hope you didn't fall victim to a Bike Reservation Ticket Scammer (which would be quite a niche scamming operation, to be fair...)
2 years agoYup. They’re not free on the TfW lines if you want a reserved space. To me it looks like we could have just showed up and rolled them on though, as another biker did.
2 years agoDid you really pay ten pounds? Bike reservations are supposed to be free!
2 years agoWe’re the same. Two is a pretty great number of pillows in our book. The photo doesn’t show it but the tub is filled with ten pillows and the panniers.
2 years agoFor us it would be an inverse scale, that is, more pillows equals a lower score. Thus, a 12 pillow loaded bed would yield a dismal score since it would immediately require removal of 10 of the pillows never to be placed back on the bed again. But that is just us maybe.
2 years agoIt does have that look alright.
2 years agoThat hill looks like it might've been the inspiration for Hobbiton Hill in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
2 years agoIn fact you can (though usually from a little further south) -- but you need to take a guide (who used to be appointed by the Queen/Duke of Lancaster; she's now delegated the job to a charity: https://www.guideoversands.co.uk/ )
2 years agoThat’s a funny accident I didn’t see. Both were correct.

Oh. You’re right, and I’m mixing up train journeys. There was no charge for the bikes. At about the same time as this I booked a train journey in France, which charges 10 euros/bike if you’re reserving space on the TGV (regionals are free). Thanks for catching that.
