Packing cubes delivered to Inverness
The Highlands ask for waterproofs, layers and boots in the same bag as everything else - which is a volume problem before it is a tidiness one.
Do you deliver packing cubes to Inverness?
Yes, we deliver to Inverness and across the Highlands, free over £20 and dispatched within 48 hours. Inverness Airport connects to the London airports, Amsterdam and the islands, and the city is the usual starting point for the North Coast 500 - a trip that needs waterproofs and boots in the same bag as everything else.
Packing for Highland weather
Inverness has two travelling populations and they pack in opposite directions. People flying out are usually going somewhere warmer and drier. People arriving are packing for a week in which it may rain every day, and they are almost always carrying too much.
The Highland packing problem is bulk, not quantity. Waterproofs, fleeces and walking boots are not heavy so much as awkward - they refuse to lie flat and they hold air. That is precisely the case where a compression cube does real work, because squeezing the air out of a fleece genuinely recovers a third of its packed height.
The other thing about Highland trips is that things get wet and stay wet. If you are moving along the NC500 and packing up each morning, you need somewhere for a damp jacket that is not against your clean clothes. A wipe-clean bag used as a wet bag is the unglamorous fix.
Boots deserve their own bag too. Peat, sheep fields and a car boot are a combination that will find its way into a folded jumper otherwise.
What we would pack for this trip
- Slate Compression Packing Cubes, Three Sizes: flattens fleeces and waterproofs by a third
- Black Travel Shoe Bag: keeps Highland mud off everything else in the boot
- Navy Mesh Wash Bag: wipes out, so it doubles as a wet bag on the NC500
Packing cubes delivered to Inverness – FAQs
Do you deliver to Inverness and the Highlands?
Yes. IV postcodes are included at the same price as everywhere else - free over £20, a flat £5.99 under it. Some of the more remote Highland and island addresses take a day or two longer, which is covered by our eight-day window.
What is the best way to pack waterproofs and boots together?
Separately from everything else, and compressed. Put waterproofs and fleeces in a compression cube to get the air out, boots in their own bag, and keep one wipe-clean bag empty for whatever comes back wet at the end of the day.
