They had come from near Amsterdam via ferry then trains (and were highly complimentary of both Scotrail and taking bikes on trains in the UK!)</p> <p>They said the older boy could do 50km a day and there was a special folding hitch on Mum's bike that could turn the younger girl's bike into a tag along. I thought the mini-Ortliebs on their bikes (Raleighs) were quite cute.</p> <p>And the adults looked to be carrying more weight each than I was!</p> <p>Anyway, though I would share. </p>
