Thanks everyone - that sorts me out nicely

Busses - yes - one an hour until early evening:

I'm not sure I would say lucky though, more "well, it's not bad, but the people deserve better"

Biking isn't a bad idea, but I wouldn't want to leave my bike locked up anywhere, I have had more stolen than I can remember.

It's a really good point about taking all the required kit, I should probably be training with it too.

I just picked up a nice pair of waterproof trousers from the local shop in town, £20 and they are as small and as light as you like, taped seams, and their own little carry pouch. Mac in a sac I think they are called.

Thanks again - all input very much appreciated
