  • Hope you enjoy this film the trip was quite spontaneous with hardly any planning or training, hence i got lost a lot, bike cost £250 pounds off gumtree, ride turned into a great little adventure hope film is not to boring to watch.

    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.

    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.

    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'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.

    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 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.

    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!

You seem to have dived headlong into this trip, regardless. I love it! The Adventure starts when you take a wrong turn, or some unforeseen occurrence comes along I don’t want to sound too Cheesey but your trip is inspirational! Once again, thank you.

    You've done it again. I thought, after some of your other adventures, you may think this one a bit on the tame side. But, no !! 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.
