Outward - Caley Sleeper Euston - Fort William, then onward to Mallaig on the Jacobite, ferry to Armadale, bus across Skye and onto the mainland, train to Inverness then Highland Chieftain back to London.

Could be done in about 3 days and you get to go on 3 of the most scenic lines in Britain.

How are they going to spend £4050 in 2 weeks? A 14 day all line rover is only £375 each so that leaves £3300. Meals and accomodation might account for half of that but there still seems to be a lot left.

It's rare that I don't think I'm sad on this forum, but this is one of those moments. Congrats guys, but did you really have nothing else you wanted the money for more?

And as for spending 4000 pounds in 2 weeks, where there's a will.....

i would go for the cross country voyager if i had to choose one first class journey, only because standard class on those trains is beyond masochistic. i doubt that's what steven has in mind though :P

i think these guys are to be congratulated especially for taking such a mad idea forward to duncan bannatyne, i'll never look at that man the same again, i refuse to believe he's never travelled standard class, seeing as he used to be an ice-cream van driver before he got rich.

I turned over after that silly woman that wanted a fridge, freezer, big telly etc and watched the scouting program with Neil Morrissey. Can somebody enable the youtube thing for me?

I think it is far too much to give 2 16-year-olds over £4k to go bashing for 2 weeks! Far better to give that to some of the Tube Challengers after a mental All Stations Challenge! Of which I still want to do in the spring...

actually, i seem to recall that SK posted something on another forum a couple of years ago that he was going to, or had already attempted to do this - are we sure he hasn't done it before? i think he might have done ...

Bannatyne's on Al Murray's Happy Hour tonight.

And there may be some involvement from a certain individual in the front row wearing a scarf...
