It was a very enjoyable week too. I imagine you enjoyed the trip to the Shetlands where we took days to even be able to leave!As long as it's within reason. Last time we were in the Highlands we were there for almost a week

I do like remote islands, just not when we spend weeks and weeks there!
This has happened at least six times this week!!!!!!

We need to check if other messages have been sent before posting.

It was also against the forum rules.....

It's a good point, we should probably make our way back to the mainland. We've been here a few days now, and we can always come back in a week or so.
Not really, the Shetland on wasn't much through choice as through the lack of services. We're not planning on returning anytime soon.
We now board the 07:00 West Coast Motors service 496 to Pennyghael, opp Community Centre, arriving at 07:35 Friday morning.
Let's aim to get off the islands before the weekend, otherwise it gets very hard to do much!
EDIT: I've just changed the times as I found an earlier service!

After that random stop, we board the next West Coast Motors route 96 at 09:43 to Craignure Ferry Terminal, arriving there at 10:25 on a Friday.
Sorry, I found a 7:00 service, and so had to use it to avoid a 2h+ wait. A simple edit of times here should solve the problem, sorry!
Here, we board the 11:00 Caledonian MacBrayne service to Oban (Ferry terminal), arriving at 11:50 Friday morning.

Hang on, I was beaten on the ferry back to Oban so I crossed out my move and went to Dalmuir. The move to Crianlarich came just after mine.

You edited into your move though, I thought that wasn't allowed (my time changing was a little dodgy too to be fair!)

New moves have to be posted independently. Otherwise it creates confusion. I didn't see your edit and new move until just now.

Don’t edit moves, it just messes up the game

From here, we board the 21:30 ScotRail service to Edinburgh Waverley, arriving there at 22:24 on a Friday.

TEAM, SERIOUSLY. This is just a friendly request that we all slow down. Everyone is posting within MINUTES of each other.
Regardless of whether I posted it independently though it wouldn't have made a difference as you were very quick with your post.
