You can fly Exeter - Aberdeen for 155 pounds return. Possibly cheaper than driving, unless you fill the car.

We could probably fill a minibus or peoplecarrier between us starting somewhere like Exeter- then stopping at sensible intervals between there and Aberdeen to collect people and visit unsuspecting Downsizers over a couple of days Then hop on the ferry for wool week, and zigzag back down the country calling in at other downsizers or places of interest. Call it a 2 week round trip probably.

After you have suffered for 14 hours on that ferry, you will be glad to fly!

14 hours is a long time in weather like this... especially if a 14 hour crossing becomes 24 hours

I'd be interested, if they have what I'm after? But if someone else wants it while I'm checking the site, don't worry
