Broken bikes and ankles, but not spirits | Ireland Tour Ep. 4

I don’t know what’s wrong with us. Nothing seems to dampen our spirits (unless Marlon is hungry). Sprained ankle, broken bike, rainy slogs and forest prisons have nothing on our dangerously positive mental attitudes. Especially when there are cows to scratch.

The mantra is: we get to do this!

I’m like this close to insanity but it’s great I’m living High Life This guy he’s had a bad time it’s my day for everything to go wrong yeah it is Oh it does smell fishy is because we’ve been doing Coastal parts Foreign kit is out we’ve had our first injury hello who’s now climbing well this is not to do a shot go it’s kind of your fault I guess it is all my fault no not your fault the people oh yeah people because you want the content

These fault is it these guys yeah it’s not sick of use as I dismounted my bike rolled my uncle in a [ __ ] you don’t get cold caution Callum without hurting yourself a couple of times though do you just going icing it boy so it’s a pretty precarious walk

Down with a dodgy ankle yeah get on your bomb lad I don’t it’s been a bit of a drama queen I’m at least gonna get the cool Bridge would Callum underneath it yeah what a place to get yourself though beautiful place could be worse I’m having a very bad

Time could be better that’s the good stuff isn’t it but lots of things slowing us down today I think it’s just gonna be a small day which is fine can’t plan for accidents you cannot just soaking up some rays um on the uh elevation stage of rice

What does that mean that would be rest ice compression elevation oh so I’ve done some cold water now I’m elevating it I will stick your bandage on it afterwards that is mad looking so I don’t know 10 minutes [ __ ] Foreign [ __ ] that’s not your battery pack is it no that’s a bag of peas we’re having a very tough time finding a camp spot it’s been a slog but real slug I’m just talking about how well I like the slug even though I hate it because you know once you’ve done it

You’ve set up camp you’ve got meal in you you’re very happy yeah because of the contrast but you’re also mental as well [Laughter] we’re totally remote though we’ve been on this path for so long not seen a single soul little gravel path going in the middle of nowhere looks like it’s

Been a bruised path really it’s just that this fifth Boris isn’t like any of that hello hi there I think the last time we updated so when Callum bonked his ankle that is peas and after that we just tried to find a camp spot that was close

And we actually struggled it just didn’t work out I was getting really hungry like really hungry I’ll tell you what these are good for they’ve got the egg holders but eggs for breakfast Chef fantasy breakfast today we’ve been on lots of granola so far but today we’re going a kind of a

Shack chica type thing this is some nutritious stuff we are heading towards Westport today we don’t know where we’re going to end up but we’re not gonna really think about it too much because it never seems to work out that way does it Callum no it always seems to work out better

Yeah where do you think it’s going bad it just ends up okay anyway we’re told that there’s going to be rain on the forecast which is fine because we’ve had six days of beautiful sunshine not even tested out the waterproofs yet so it’s fine it’s all fine isn’t it it’s

Fine fine I don’t mind it’s fine it’s totally fine yeah Just one day Gollum likes the slug no I just want to get me waterproof stop me back so I got more space yeah you’ve got a mad set up I don’t think I’ve actually shown the setup in detail here come have a look there’s the the holy shoes well I thought out there

We’ve got this beautiful specialist art art Lee bag bungee carded on top of these Aldi bags because they don’t have the clips for it and then front panel like backpacking setup do you want some compromised blueberries compromise blueberries it’s better when compromised I’m Alan oh yeah

All right just packed up yeah eggs eggs yeah they’re eggs in the eggs there are eggs oh my God looking forward to the potential rain uh yeah because I get to try out my new uh homemade Poncho oh big news actually that sweet yeah you can see I’m not

Gonna tell you about you can just wait and see yeah yeah yeah Um other than that I’ve got the exact same setup as when I did juggle last year so not much else to talk about oh this this is broke it’s got a bungee because that bolt has come off it’s basically fixed yeah it’s perfectly fine everything’s fine everything’s going to be fine What’s up guys [Applause] Oh I don’t know why I’m holding it because there’s nothing there anymore I’m a [ __ ] feet how do you feel oh rejuvenated calm relaxed And then he’s just all Zen so imagine you’re going up one of these crazy Irish Hills with the mountains all around you really thin Road and you come across this right at the peak this guy it’s had a bad time so we saw this and we thought what the

Bloody hell is going on I’m gonna jump in it actually so we just met the guy walking down the hill he’s gone to get help so he tried to do a three-point turn because he realized he couldn’t make it down this road and uh

Well I got stuck as you just saw so he’s walking down there at the moment it’s a long long hill it’s gonna try and find my find a farmer to help him well it’s nice now I’ve never been on a truck on my own I mean a coach but anyway

This is the road all the way down there he’s got a walk poor guy poor guy but we’re gonna enjoy this downhill at least if we see a farmer we’ll let him know But of course faster so I feel very unstable what’s going on I don’t really know got myself in a very peculiar position I’m just trying to lift the top up a bit I would also describe it as a peculiar position you know it’s good I’m stuck that’s 10. oh um But the stick that it was tattooed I do need to tie it there’s just sticks everywhere sticks everywhere it’s not great it’s hard to get the top up properly also a lot of fun I’m just cooking up because I’m already set up and today biggest day yet I think well yeah in

Terms of climbing we climbed 2 259 feet it was a beautiful day beautiful day lots of mountains beautiful scenery coach stuck on a hill you should have been uh Mountain that was my favorite bit I think that par driver I mean did it to himself yeah he’s not poor driver in the middle

Of nowhere so I’m walking on foot to find a farmer to help him with a tractor yeah and we rolled obviously way faster than the walks and there was no tractors for a long time no but the worst part was is that we said oh do I was the

Pedal down and go to the farmer for you and then he was like yeah that’d be sweet and then started walking and then we just didn’t move Adam got on his bus as you’ve probably seen already later on we did knocked on yeah and they just said no

That tractor’s not big enough anyway I’m sorry that’s going up in a tangent because that guy we pulled that guy over toward him and he just started laughing oh I was just like oh I’m gonna go check it out yeah yeah he loved it it brightened up his

Day when we we told him that there’s a coach took up on the hill so the road was blocked and he was loving it was that oh is that what is it [Laughter] so anyway so we climbed 2259 feet travel 45.89 miles and we did that in four hours and 36 minutes

And our average speed was 10 miles an hour Max Speed was 32.5 and it’s our graph Um what was that Spike was that where the coach got stuck so yeah because we did a big downhill after that yeah right there probably still there right now to be honest he is [ __ ] are you screwed at least he’s got lots of space in that coach to

Be comfy and warm it wasn’t if he ever gets back up he’s gonna walk back up there’s gonna be a load of old ladies are somewhat a big group of Coach people waiting for their coach somewhere which is sad for them train but it’s good I think every time I think

I’m having a [ __ ] day I’ll just remember that that guy’s day existed he he had to do that that is such a bad do that that’s a really bad dude yeah so he’s a lucky man really he got to have a life-changing day but yeah we’re in a quite a nice Forest um

Huge tree behind I’ll show you in the morning probably maybe oh it’s gonna rain it’s gonna rain tonight and all of tomorrow so that’ll be interesting high winds High rain yay we love it we love it it’ll be fine first bit of red hey good night peace

Say night night no that’s a papa I don’t know but it’s it’s raining that’s about it Hello We’re the spreads that we’re pretty good cow scratches keep sprinting up the fields When we arrive we just had a long break though we don’t really have time sorry friends you all look great though you look great you’re absolutely smashing it see ya oh he’s humping oh
