    Just found this little gem. What an inspirational little film. So nice to see someone just having an adventure and not worried about breaking records or A to B speeds.

    I am 69 with a heart condition. I have cycled everyday nearly in my life. After seeing this I am going to do it. Many thanks

    Just brilliant, dangerously recklessly bloody brilliant. I wish I had a fraction of your fortitude and spirit. I’ve walked and bothered in the highlands and it can be very daunting. Bloody well done chap. 👏

    I loved that! Smiled the whole way through. The navigation through Scotland was hilarious.

    A nice change to the manic LEJOG vids that are done in 8-10 days, looking to do this in 2020 at 52 year old and aiming for 50-60 miles a day, self supported camping. Should be fun.
    Yours is a great video, Cheers.

    I have watched many of the LE/JoG videos on YT but this one is by far has been the most enjoyable, interesting and inspirational one. Total respect and admiration for your achievement Jon, and for the spirit of the whole trip. The video is beautifully edited and I just love the soundtrack..great stuff!!

    I've watched a lot of bike-packing videos and this is my new favourite. I love the 'make it up as I go along' approach and you've really inspired me to embark on this kind of adventure soon. Great stuff.

    Man you had me in suspense during the bad gravel road areas. I thought you would give up! (Many would!) You seem to have a carefree casual attitude about it all and that's inspiring. I'm sure you yelled and screamed a lot though! Haha! And to think you did all that on a cheap used bicycle. Most people wouldn't even attempt something like that unless they had at least a 2000 quid bike and hotel along the route. Seems like you had fun and proves that if you have the will there's always a way!

    Brilliant video. Love from America. Loved "Wash Day"! ;) I would love to just be able to take off like this and go on an adventure. Here in America, we have a lot of trails to hike. as soon as my boss retires, I believe I will just take off. Getting lost has never sounded so good.

    I really enjoyed watching this. Well done. Very brave to go off road in the wilds of Scotland. You're a true adventurer. Did this trip myself tother way in 2001. But I took the soft option of B&Bs. Journey of a lifetime, you'll never forget it.

    Great video - cycled and camped all my life (On and off) and I am itching to try this cycle touring thing. It's only taken me 55 years to get round to it! Overweight with dodgy knees and creaking other bits - I'm determined to do as much of it as I can while I still can.

    Nice spent 27 minutes. Great job on bike and good video. Watching videos of cycling tours in Scotland and the UK in general, I noticed that most of the commuters are middle-aged people. Maybe that's why I want to go there?

    Ha ha, lovely little insight into how a bike ride SHOULD be. Getting lost, who cares? Hilarious, your trip looks so much more fun than those head down, see nothing trips we are used to on UA-cam. You have a great attitude and I enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing. p.s. anyone tell you that you are the spit of Quint in Jaws (Robert Shaw), albeit you are a little leaner :)

You seemed to have a great time ( certainly made a great video ) I think it's your fantastic adventurous spirit. Mind you, I think you should have saved this one for 2020 and made it a COVID adventure.
