I really can't decide how to get there.
If I had a normal bike, I'd surely go for the train from Edinburgh to Paris and back, with the bike dismantled in a bag. Unfortunately, even if I took mine completely apart, it would still be taking the mickey as far as packing size goes.
Riding directly from Edinburgh seems a bit OTT, and I can't spare the time from work.
Flying is stressful enough without a bike!
I had been thinking about the Rosyth-Zebrugge ferry and then two days at 150km each, but that is shutting down...
Having driven a few times to the Alps with kayaks, I'm not overly keen to have that experience again (although, could potentially share the car with like-minded Ecossais)
