Moulton deluxe Hebridean way
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лис 2022
- Cycle expedition to Scottish Outer Hebrides islands on vintage bicycle Moulton deluxe made in 1965 in Bradford on Avon in England. Started from my house in Burntisland, used only the bike, trains and ferries, no car. Cycled 40 miles on mainland Scotland and 210 miles on 9 islands all the way from Vatersay to Lewis and Harris. The plan was to camp or use any kind of shelters on the way. I followed mainly Hebridean way blue signs but not strictly, made my own way through. It took me 8 days in total from home to home..
I've usually been going out for 2 or 3 days in last say 10 years and haven't been for a proper road bike cycling trip for many years. I knew this expedition will be all the way on roads and it will take about a week so I kept delaying the project for some time as I was too lazy to go out of my comfort zone which was finally the main reason why I forced myself to do it. Also in combination with the fact I've got my Moulton now and I enjoy to ride on this bike a lot.
All times in the video are filming included. No puncture or any other major problem with the bike or myself! It was beautiful but hard thanks to it's remoteness and challenging weather condition.
I have to say I haven't experienced a trip with such an intensive adventure feel all the way through for some time. Hope you enjoy watching.
Filmed in May 2022 in Outer Hebrides in Scotland.

Excellent video.Did it a few years ago my main memory wasn't the rain but the wind which reduced my speed to a walking pace at times but a great place to cycle.PS I did see an otter just after passing the sign , they do exist just as the tourist board promotes.🚴
Thank you. I know they do:-] I was lucky as the wind was pushing me from south most of the time to be honest:-]
Brilliant mate, such a laugh watching that! Thankyou
You are welcome🙂
Amazing videos you do, full respect, and thanks for checking our channel 👍 we only just visited Highlands, and I am in the process of editing our little adventures with kids, although we did not climb Ben Nevis yet so we will be back. All the best to you and your family. Keep it up with good work 🙂
Thanks a lot, atb to you too and good luck with your channel. Cheers Jonas
Keyboard warrior here, only one rule about the Bothy Bus, don't talk about the bothy bus! 🚍
Just kidding, brilliant mate, enjoyed that. Hard work at the best of times, but to do it on the MD. Fine effort. Nice location to finish the trip too. 👌🏼
Hi Robin, the bus was the best surprise I ever had on my trips as that night was not raining... it was bombarding with rain for many hours continuously! I would defo be f..... in my wee tent if not dead:-] Thanks J.
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild would have been a grim night in a tent mate. Bothy Bus was an amazing find. Think I know where it is as I climbed the hill behind it a few years ago.
Just found your latest video. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Hope to do the same one day. Came across your channel last year whilst looking at Moulton’s as i also have one. Stay safe.
Thank you. Moulton bike means freedom to me😁 Glad my trip was inspiring for you. Atb Jonas
Love your film - I have a late 60’s Moulton which has been my main bike until I finally bought a new Moulton last year.
The old Moulton is my favourite possession and l must have ridden it thousands of mile as a regular ride around Edinburgh, long day rides and mini cycle tours with a little tent, cycling events like the Eroica, West Coast of Scotland and many visits to the annual gathering of Moultoneers at Bradford on Avon.
I’m watching this at my in-law’s place in Achiltibuie - can see Lewis out the window - must bring the bike next time 👍
Thank you for watching and the comment. Totally love that bike and go cycling on it regularly in my local area in Fife in Burntisland where I live. The trips I enjoy the most are those on Scottish islands. Did Arran, Mull and Hebridean way and planning more. Moulton bike means Adventure to me. Cheers Jonas
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild I used to live in Edinburgh and rode out your way on my Moulton regularly- usually winding up in Aberdour I live in the highlands now on the Black Isle - drop me a line if you’re up our way!
What an adventure though, good video, thanks for downloading it.
Yeah.. this trip was pretty special for me. Thanks for watching and commenting.
help help lol,great bike and video,greetings fro liverpool england my friend
Thank you very much. ATB from Sunny Scotland to Liverpool:-]
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild cool mate
Very entertaining. Harris is spectacular especially in sunshine. I thought you might have bought some Harris gin when you were there... Aaaaaahhhhh
Thank you, yeah.. some of the views were just stunning. Ok, will have to try it next time.
Enjoyed that.
Thanks for taking us along.
It's not cheating to take better shelter than your tent. Any fool can be wet and cold.
NC 500 next on the Moulton?
Mine is a 1980's APB. Yet to do a decent trip on it though.
Cheers, Chris from Cornwall.
Hi Chris, greetings from Scotland. Not sure yet, need to service it properly before next big trip. NC 500 is probably too much for us.. full of steep hills. Will do some other Scottish islands maybe. Good Luck for your trips on your one. Thanks. Jonas
Hi there, am reading a book at the moment called finding Hildasay by Christian Lewis, he walked the uk coastline, was looking at some of the photos and there is this bus and he comments on the broken back window, so I came back and watched your video again,I'm pretty sure it's your bothy bus, his journey began 2017 so the paintwork is in slightly better condition. Love your videos, many thanks
Thank you. I will check out for his story, it sounds like a BIG trip indeed.. 🙂 Yeah, I am afraid the bus has deteriorated a lot during the years, still waterproof in the bedroom and most of the main area though. Cheers
My favourite you tube video ... watched 3 or 4 times and hoping to do this adventure this year but alas not on a Moulton Deluxe. I may get one of those yellow jackets from Mountain Warehouse though. 🙂
Thank you very much. Well.. Moulton is optional but jacket essential:-]
Well done great film,always wanted to do this maybe next year.
Thank you and Good Luck with your one.
Wow what a place to stay on day six by the cliffs and the sea, enjoyed this video , I've just subscribed as I have been watching a few of your vids and your content is really good, challenging and exciting , well done
Thank you Tracey. I can honestly say that to finally reach that bothy after the whole journey was a really special and emotional moment for me. Cheers and Atb to you with your channel and trips too!
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild thank you
If there is ever a cycling Barra tourism video then this is it. What a cracking trip Jonas. Great looking bothy bus 🚌 aaaaaaaah 🥃🍻
Thank you Kevin very much but I don't think I will ever be taken on board of any official tourism platform🤣 Not in this country and in this time🙂 But who knows.. Cheers 🥃
Another brilliant video, you do make me laugh. Not the best of weather but some great places to stay. Loved that last wee bothy. Tilly and Sophie were pleased to see you.
It's good to hear from somebody that my humor actually works. It boosts my self-confidence a bit. I am being told now every day by my daughter [age 13:-] that I am the most embarrassing person and dad with the worst old-fashioned jokes around:-] CHEERS!
Jonas that’s a typical young teenage girl. She just doesn’t realise what a cool dad you are yet!
Loved this Jonas, what a brilliant wee movie! 🎥🍿One of my favourite videos I’ve seen on UA-cam. I’m originally from Stornoway so it was nice to have a trip down memory lane! Forgot how epic the beaches are. Subscribed for more adventures 😊
Thank you very much. If I was from there I would never go anywhere else ha ha:-] Just joking, I can imagine it must be tough in there in short bad weather winter days or to find right job etc..
Jsi borec. 🕺 Já ty Hebridy shodou okolností taky jel v květnu 2022. Byl jsem tam od 8 května. Ahoj.
Diky. Ja myslim ze tak od 15tyho. Ale beztak sem jel tak rychle na tom Moultonu ze me ani videt nebylo:-]
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild jak kozel z Kapustova
Wow this looks so cool! I love your setup, so easy and light, nothing better for a good adventure!
Thank you. yeah.. I always try to keep it light and simple.
Great trip, thank you for sharing 👍 Wishing you have a wonderful upcoming weekend 👍
Same to you. Cheers.
Bothy Bus - Amazing! I've never heard oh it! Cheers Jonas, Great video!
Thank you. Never heard either and found it just by the chance at the evening before extremely heavy rain which went for the whole night..:-]
You are an inspiration! Absolutely superb Jonas!! Hope you enjoyed your birthday 🥃 take care! ATB
Best birthday ever! Same to you. Thanks
Superb Jonas and what a wonderful adventure! Really enjoyed watching. Go to go to some of the places… Thank you 😊
You are welcome and thanks for watching and commenting
Love it! I'm not in that kind of condition, but I Moulton'd from Glencoe to Oban, and the hills are no joke, especially loaded. But the beauty is jaw-dropping, and worth it. The Hinba coffee shop in Oban is enough reason to stay a day, and the harbor on a quiet night is gorgeous.
Thanks. It's actually quite comfortable ride isn't? Yeah steep hills are not so good as the bike is heavy and not so many gears available but it is cycling in style indeed!🙂
What a great video Jonas ! Your sense of humour was needed in what must have been at times a difficult cycle through often wet and windy Hebridean weather. I was over on Barra and Vatersay with my Brompton bicycle in early May, 2021. The weather was lovely and sunny but bitterly cold. I camped near the spot where you camped on Vatersay but over the fence above the beach. The village hall was a great place for a bite to eat and a shower the next morning. In fact, I decided to stay there for a few days exploring the island and its beautiful beaches. I must get back up there again to travel further north. Slàinte 🥃 !
Thank you Michael, Barra and Vatersay are beautiful islands and I would love to stay longer in there or go back one day. Next one up Eriskay is also quite nice however then it wasn''t too interesting for me [and humor was needed indeed😁] I didn't find South Uist, Benbeculla, North UIst and Berneray very interesting.. just a boring moorland most of the time really. However that could be because the weather was rubbish when I was cycling through and I didn't have much views. But that was just a one day of cycling basically. Then you get to Lewis and Harris and that is a stunning island and I very much recommend it. It has got everything.. beaches, mountains, lochs, woods.. absolute paradise!
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild By the way, try a wee Bruichladdich whisky !
@@Grangeburn Thanks will look for it.
Excellent presentation.Your Moulton coverage is the best.Hebrides are beautiful.Moulton could give you sponsorship since they have no media coverage,their marketing efforts are as small as their wheels.Maybe they could give you a double pylon for your next tour?
I doubt anybody would sponsor such a small channel but I enjoy what I am doing anyway. Glad you liked the film and thank you for watching and commenting.
Absolutely superb 👌
🚲🥃, great watch.
Thank you very much
Awesome video Jonas😍..What an amazing adventure..Your bike did you proud..I loved the Bothy Bus and the stone shelter was out of this world 😍..Been to the outer Hebrides a few times as I used to go out with a girl from Lewis..Also went with my dad and a friend to bring a boat back to Glasgow from Harris …Really enjoyed the video bro.
Cheers
Robert
Thanks Robert. I have never been there before this trip so it was all new for me. It felt really like abroad for me a bit. You travel there long time, people behave a little different than other Scottish people elsewhere.. yeah just the weather is a same shit like everywhere else here:-] No just joking and have to say I totally loved it in there indeed! Tough but brilliant place and special adventure for me thanks to the islands and my Moulton.
@@jonashubalekwhiskyandthewild Honestly mate what an amazing adventure you showed us..Superb Jonas😁👏🏻..Yes the locals are defo a bit different 😂..Top class buddy 😁👌🏻
Your a Legend Jonas total respect 🙏
I am not a Legend. Thank you though.
Great adventure, looked like one of your toughest yet, pity the weather was so bad.
Thank you. well.. it wasn't always bad and harder the conditions are better is the adventure:-]
awesome trip I'm gonna buy a bike!!!!!
Thanks. Go for it!
This was a great watch and seeing your personality come through was a joy!
I’ve got this on my to do before Easter. How did you find the bothies? Especially the final one on Lewis!
Thank you. Good luck with the weather in March.. It's a unique brilliant bothy in stunning location. Very atmospheric too. However it's not completely waterproof or windproof. You also need to book in advance if you want to spend the night in there. Cheers.
I really enjoyed your adventure! It is absolutely fun to watch!😄
Now I feel like I want to get myself a moulton deluxe too! Hehe. How’s the ride? Can you recommend it? I never ridden one before. But I got a brompton bike.
See you on your next adventure! Enjoy your ride and be safe!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed! Moulton is the best bike on the World! It's very comfortable ride on it thanks to it's full suspension. It was first bicycle ever with suspension long before first MTbikes. Not suitable for steep hills though. Atb Jonas
Nice
Thanks
The moulton did great,how many bottles of whisky did you drink.
Just one small one. I drink whisky to enjoy the taste, not to get drunk.. well most of the time anyway:-]
Brilliant adventures again, thanks for sharing. That last bothy looked amazing. Was that at the Butt of Lewis? The Oiter Hebs well worth visiting in the car too.
Thanks a lot. I am sorry I won't reveal the locations of the bothy or the bus. Not online.
@WHISKY AND THE WILD you're quite right not to Jonas, I shouldn't have asked! Brought back some great memories of my holidays there. Best place in the UK, IMO!👍
That's fine. I enjoyed it a lot too. I think some places there can easily compete with other places and islands around the world. Beaches on Barra, Vatersay or Harris for example..
缺点是背着又大又重的包不爽，想办法挂在自行车上吧。
