Re: Glasgow

There is a post office at 136 West Nile Street, close to Queen Street station.

Burning alcohol is known as methylated spirits or 'meths' in the UK, it can be found at any hardware store or decent size supermarket.

2 hours is quite a short time to get from plane door to Queen St station.

Re: Glasgow

Phil - welcome to The Challenge! North Carolina - $34 billion chickens - one Challenger!

There are direct buses from Glasgow Airport (Stance 9, Caledonian Way) through to Dornie. Times are:
10:24 > 15:38 Service 915, Scottish Citylink. Route Glasgow > Uig
15:24 > 20:18 Service 915, Scottish Citylink. Route Glasgow > Uig

You could do worse than wait until the Final Details are published (usually around April 15), identify other Challengers starting from Dornie (there will be a fair few), eMail the organisers to get their eMail and ask them to truck up some gas for you. We're all about helping eachother!

Re: Glasgow

Thanks for the advice...always so helpful here! You are giving me confidence that my route and start are practical and I can submit then tie down these details.

Humphrey...not only that many chickens but as makes sense the world's largest exporter of chicken feet to the far East at last count...if only someone could figure out a way to grow a chicken with more than 2 feet!

Re: Glasgow

Sorry,
I didn't realise your bus left from the airport, ignore everything that I said.

There is a B&Q store (like Home Depot) the other side of the motorway from the airport, you could grab a cab to get you there and back pretty quickly. They sell meths.

The option of getting someone else to meet you with some makes more sense though.
