    As I was going to St. Ives
    I spied a bike, Ed Pratt astride
    Aishola rode behind that bloke
    I swear it real, I do not joke
    They had no cat, be glad of that
    But on that bike, the two were sat
    Up steep hills, down to the shore
    I hope these two ride many more

    Hi Ed, your tandem videos popped up after posting my own mini tandem tour a few weeks ago. My wife and I are now making our way through your World Unicycle Tour, which is keeping us thoroughly entertained through our 10 days of Covid quarantine after testing positive last week for this bloody virus. It’s nice to see a fellow Somerset explorer on UA-cam. We have currently just finished the China series and have moved onto South Asia, it looked an incredible adventure, one in very jealous of! Well done, and a massive thanks for the videos, and helping us get through what would otherwise have been a miserable week!!

I had many, many situations like that where I was at the last moment just stopped on the side of the road in Port Townsend Washington and this lady stopped to check if I was okay...when all said and done. I had a place to camp right on the beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean, a Pizza , two beers , a small bottle of bourbon and a piece of carrot cake...how do you like them apples? Your videos are awesome with great story telling and editing and your girl is just lovely in her attitude and sense of adventure. Great stuff man.

I've slept in ditches, behind hedges, in a graveyard, on the loading dock of a post office, anywhere I could be out of sight. No tent or sleeping bag, at most I'd roll out a tarp to lie on. Never got much rest those nights but more than I would have gotten riding through the night.

    I never found camping kit weight to be too much of a problem up hills. It was usually the tires that made a difference and having low enough gearing. Not saying it is the case, but maybe you are used to more watts per kg? ;) ;) A big bonus: you get the lovely company of a nice lady :P The drag advantages of a tandem don't help much up hills. Due to the way air resistance rapidly ramps up. Great series, really enjoying it.
