The second leg of my attempt to ride the British coastline and I’m in Southern Scotland, cycling along Scotland’s nose. Starting in Gretna, I head west along the various peninsulas of Dumfries and Galloway to the country’s southern-most point – the Mull of Galloway. Then its northward again until the town of Ayr.
On the way, there’ll be a lot of rain, a killer headwind, a couple of castles, a lot more rain, a pretty seaside town and a night beneath the stars at the foot of a shining lighthouse. There’s also my first real dilemma of the journey as I approach the busy ferry road outside Stranraer.

Slipknot like Solway Firth so much they named a song after it. 🏴🏴
Such a beautiful landscape! Thanks for sharing!
I do enjoy watching your videos as I have subscribed to your channel. 😄👍
Ollie, you say, "My legs hurt," "I'm so tired," "It's cold," It's windy," "It's 6AM" and so on BUT I would give almost anything to also be there on the adventure. But I seem to be 5,281 miles away….. Another great watch from Bee Here Now.
Oh no, you took the train! Disappointment worse than Bambi’s mother being killed. Great video – really enjoy your channel. Many thanks
Big fan of your other vids, but I'm loving even more these biking vids. I'm from southport and was an avid mountain biker, previously ride mountains in France, Italy and Austria. I was hit by a car though a few years back in a hit and run that left me needing a few metal plates and I just can't ride anymore (pedal bikes that is, still ride motorbikes). Keep up the great work, difficult I know in our weather, but ya doing a great job. Stay safe 🙂
Brilliant video as usual, you're a brave man to tackle such distances on a bike!
Can I suggest you don't use your selfie mirror function as when you do it looks like you're heading south which is confusing?
That's what I call living the dream 😄
Hi Ollie, in awe, My hub, Simon and I had a discussion about my misunderstanding of your incredible distance, I thought it was Km instead of Miles! Even more well done, and another very informative and entertaining journey that we too hope to do one day soon. All the best, Joanne and Simon
Sweet! It's unquestionably a wonderful part of the world, but you've definitely got a gift for making videos.
How do you get back home after each leg??
Do you finish a leg, go home, then make your way back to where you left off at a later date??
Thanks for another cracking vlog,better to be safe than squashed
loved it !
so how you getting back to manchester ? train – you not cycling back are you ?
80’s icon Timmy Mallett is doing the same trip, he’s at john o’groats today! You should hook up!
Another triumph from 'Iron-Man' Ollie. Riding all day, no sleep at night, getting up at 6 in the morning, no breakfast. Wrestling 10 bears before lunch.
Unless you have a back-pack full of pasties, I cant see how you do it.
Enjoyed the video.We stayed on the Rhinns and a fortnight ago we cycled to Portpatrick . We had lunch at The Harbour House Hotel. You looked to have better weather, our visit was cold and breezy.
Great video Ollie. Much enjoyed!
Really enjoyed this vid Ollie. You did real great and made it to Ayr. Very nice stops en route… looking forward to next stage !
Really enjoyed that… Hope there are more of this series in the future!
Lovely area I like that your showing what you've seen with information rather than endless watching someone cycling. Thanks.
You must have chosen an odd route before Carsleuth to avoid sea views.
