Brilliant, loved that 👍

Having grown up in the Highlands my whole life, even I wouldn’t dare brave cycling out here as I know how cold it is, absolute hats off to you as that’s some feat! Gorgeous footage too, just love seeing everything all the amazing footage you’ve gotten (“lovely” weather and all). Also LOVE seeing Highland kindness is still more than alive and well, it’s something I’ve grown up around and I’ve always been grateful for, so seeing it being extended just makes me really happy, I’m glad yous were looked after!

Thanks for the kind words, so glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah the weather was really brutal. Honestly this section of the trip would have been MUCH harder if it wasn't for the highland kindness we experienced on the way. Every time we felt like we were getting a bit run down or unmotivated, we'd have a lovely experience meeting or staying with someone local and that would bring the motivation back up again. Stunning region as well, couldn't believe I waited this long to visit! Which part of the highlands are you from?

You could tell he was so much more drained then she was by the last push of the trip. But, he held strong and tried to remain as positive as he could for her. I don't blame him, she's gorgeous! Great job guys!

I've just watched through this playlist and what comes across most is your energy and enthusiasm to see these everyday places we see the names of on a map and the everyday people that live in them. The British Isles are a complex mix of accents, cultures and communities, all bound and separated by hundreds of years of history, some pleasant and some horrific. Travelogues like this show the kindness and the generosity that strangers can offer to others, if only they venture out and see what can be found out there.

Hey Tieran... I've been watching your videos since your first adventure into Europe. I love your video editing; your story telling and the historical tangents you take along the way. I rode across the US in 2021 (Soulmate Cyclists on KZread) so I'm very familiar with Warm Showers. I'm also comfortable with wild camping. What is not part of my repertoire is knocking of peoples front doors and asking to pitch a tent for the night! Can you explain exactly how that worked for you two please? Did you develop a "script"? Did Jill do the asking? Were you successful on the first knock every time? Any additional advice for this approach to finding a place to lay your head? Cheers - Optimistic Chris - from Deal in Kent.

Hey Chris, so glad to hear you're enjoying the videos (and that you followed them since I did that first trip several years ago)! Currently working on the next series, so there's a lot more to come. Knocking on people's doors was always a fantastic way to meet people, and often meant we could charge up our lights and other electronics and top up on water. I did the asking, and just explained a bit about the project (filming the trip and finding stories along the way), that we were looking for a spot to pitch a tent and if we could borrow their lawn or field for the night. We only really asked in rural areas, and usually the first door we knocked on said yes. There have also been quite a few times where I haven't even had to ask, and someone driving or walking past has extended the invitation. The hospitality we experienced really blew us away, and there's several people I've met that way on my various trips that I'm still in touch with 😊
