I agree with others Charlie, you've become an accomplished vlogger in such a short time. I remember your early video's well when you travelled to Scotland and now this video. Love the drone work and the editing and the descriptions you add.

Thank you Sooooo Much for filming this. INCREDIBLE! Now you are a proper Highlander. I knew Scotland was rugged, rainy, and windswept...but I never knew it was this beautiful. That music at 2:15 was an emotional expression of the beauty captured by the drone. This was right out of the Lord of the Rings. Talk about bucket list! I was just salivating over those roads you were traveling. And of course, you were on the perfect motorcycle for those roads.

Scotland has always been a special place in my Heart from passing my driving test in 1981 and wanted to go in a Land Rover it's always been a dream but I'm 60 now, got a Himalayan and planning this trip for 2024, having been to Nairn and no further it's the last day of the year. Happy New Year

Great Adventure, great post, great admin, looking forward to the next one

I did some of these roads on a Yamaha XTZ 660 a while back then a little later on a BMW R100RS. I stumbled across your channel as I am about to change bikes and have been watching loads of stuff about the Himalayan. I have been on a BMW R1200RT for ten years now. I love the bike, and in a way will be sorry to see it go, but I want something more suitable for small, steep, nadgery (is that a word!) roads. I know the little RE will not be able to blast up the motorway, but a steady 60 is fine by me. Great videos by the way, really enjoying them and they brought back some great memories. I'll be back up there soon while I'm still able, despite the dreaded midges!

Thank you for such a beautiful video, you have really nailed this vlog malarkey in such a short time, excellent work. I’m planning my bucket list trip to do a complete lap of Britain’s coastline and have been trying to decide which bike to use. Your adventures have shown me it would be a big mistake to do it on a heavy, big capacity tourer - you just don’t need one! So a ‘Roger’ is now high on my shortlist - thank you 👍

Hey Charlie, what a great leg of the journey. There's a beauty that is unique to places that some might call desolate, i think it's good for your soul to be away ( mostly) from the hustle and bustle of every day life and just enjoy a rugged landscape that has remained largely untouched. Every turn in the road brings new wonders and views to remember for ever. Can't wait to see the next thrilling instalment.🏍️🏍️😀
