    Not often I watch a UA-cam video that I have a permanent smile on my face. Everyone needs a Katie in their life to pull them through. Loved this one mate, nice work.

    I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it - the Catalina was not a jet, it was a two piston engined flying boat used by Coastal Command in WW2. Yes, I am am aviation nerd. And cyclist.

    Nice file & all my memories came flooding back.
    I completed the Hebridean Way last weekend, train to Tyndrum then cycled to Oban for the ferry. Wild camped the whole trip - completed Hebridean way in 2 days.
    Cycled back to Ullapool via ferry from Stormoway.
    Big ride from Ullapool to Fort William completed by circuit.
    Awesome countryside and amazing yet quite beeches.

    Thanks for the memories... wish there had of been a pizza container stop in 1988 when I cycled the Hebridean Way. I remember the midges. And cycling up the hill out of Tabet in pouring rain, then the mist on top. But it was so totally different to cycling in Australia. Completely different landscape, and cycling through it gives you a great appreciation.

  • @rmcguirephoto
    @rmcguirephoto 3 роки тому +2

    I've been intrigued by the idea of cycling in the Hebrides since learning that some of my ancestors emigrated from Lewis to Canada in 1851. These days though, in my senior years, my style would be one of staying in B&Bs and taking day trips on an electric bike. Watching you two battle rain, winds, steep climbs and midges brought back memories of how tough this type of travel is. It was great to watch it vicariously from the comfort of my home, though I could feel your pain!
    Your videography and story telling were great. Well done! And Katie is definitely a keeper!

    While being stuck on the couch last summer (down under) with a broken ankle, one of the few pleasures was reading Tamsin Calides' enthralling book 'I am an Island', which I recommend if you are captivated by the Hebrides. Thank you for your fun tour, the Hebridean Way is firmly on my bucket list now of must do bikepacking adventures around the world.

    Great vlog, just found your channel and are currently going through all your back catalogue of video's. They are all so well made, very cinematic, brilliant music, funny and very professional comentry. What really comes across is probably the best part is the people you meet on the routes. I think it's so cool that our lives cross with other people, sometimes for only a short time but those memories can stay with you for a lifetime. We are just about to cycle the Way of the Roses which is so small compared to what you have done but suppose you have to start somewhere. Looking forward to watching more of your travels. Best wishes Graeme + Elaine🚲😀
