    Further to my two previous comments below, I rode LeJog myself last year with my little dog along for the ride in the bike basket and camping most nights. I’m not far off pension age so we did it at a very leisurely pace! Best thing I’ve done in years, your video and one or two others were a big inspiration to me, thanks
    👍🏻🤗

      I'm a younger pensioner at 47, but I plan to do JOGLE in May. I definitely plan to do it leisurely and camp. May I ask how long it took you to complete?

      Hi - slightly embarrassed to admit it was just over 5 weeks 😬 I was using the Sustrans route which is 1200 miles, doing approx 30 miles per day. I don’t regret taking so long - I wanted to see my country and not feel under any pressure at any time to get to my camping destinations. It was the best time of my life and I hope to do JoGLE next year. I would advise everyone to take at least three weeks to do the ride - enjoy it 👍🏻🤗

      ​​​​@@pootlingalong8928That's very inspiring, and the kind of mileage per day that my husband and I could maybe manage. Wonderful to take your time and soak in the whole experience. 😊👍🚲🐶

    A fantastic video made all the more special having just completed JOGLE myself, hence this brought back some great memories, albeit it seems you had much better weather than I did. Some very nice effects particularly the route mapping images, I've looked on line to see what route mapping apps are available for my own video which I'll start working on however, I've been unable to find anything as cool as yours??? Great work lads, very impressive and well done on completing JOGLE, its no walk in the park, particularly as I did it solo and unsupported... Anymore bike packing adventures planned? I'd like to cycle 'Via Francigena' one day!!!... maybe see you out there one day... Gary

    Lovely video of this special ride, thank you for sharing, and the use of drones has really added to the quality of UA-camrs' films. I love that you were self-supported and took your camping gear and that you used the bike you had and didn't do lots of training! Just get on the bike and ride, awesome! :)

    Great going mate, If anyone is thinking of doing it- the best of luck to you all, but remember it is not easy. I did it at the end of September from John O Groats down and the weather was brutal. Out of 12 days it rained for 8 !.
    Thanks for a great video, it brought back memories as I only took photos.
    The Cardiff to Bangor route is a lovely route to try - I was luckier with the weather on that one !. Cheers, Mike

    Will extend the route to Isle of Skye the via Glasgow Edinburgh to the other side down along Newcastle via York then over to Manchester Liverpool and via Wales Cardiff. Then after arriving in Lands End travel along the Coast towards London to get my flights out of Gatwick. that will another 540k to it.
    Great video once again really enjoyed it. Stay Safe

    Great Video Max and congrats on your Jogle achievement . A very novel take on this iconic route, enjoyed it. Having videoed and You Tubed my Le jog from 2018 I know just how much time it takes to edit and do justice to the journey. Your very professional and artistic video encapsulates the diverse beauty of the British Isles (not forgetting the s....weather lol). It would make a great promotional film for the Tourist Board. Oh and thanks for saving the hedgehog 😀

    • @Max_Robertson
      @Max_Robertson  2 роки тому +1

      You essentially need to carry a lot more with you which means the bike is a lot heavier, you get used to it after a day or so but you are definitely slower. It would be a fair bit easier supported or at least not carrying a tent but you might be a lot more flexible unsupported

      @Max_Robertson  3 роки тому +1

      Glad you enjoyed! The cycle route networks were fantastic in Scotland for sure. South of the border I personally found them less signposted and not quite as good. I had the sustrans book which I used as a rough guide for direction and that was easily good enough. And yep the drone was extra weight but if you ask me, worth it!
