Hank is joined by Mark Beaumont for another epic challenge. This time, they take on a gravel adventure through the Scottish wilderness to The Old Forge, the most remote of Britain’s 46,800 pubs! Located in a tiny town on the legendary Knoydart Peninsula, there are no roads and it is only accessible by helicopter, boat or an overnight trek. Is this the world’s toughest pub ride?

First pin?
This is such a cool challenge
literally the best gravel bike ad out there
This is silly. Shoulda gone on a MTB. I’m glad you fell off your stupid gravel bikes. Turned it off, not interested
I love videos with Mark in them. You know it’s going to be good ‼️‼️
I work with a Polish lad that's done this route loads of times on his summer holidays…. EMBN did it a few years ago too(maybe not from Fort Bill, but the rough stuff). Most folk wouldn't be daft enough to go near the depths of Knoydart on anything less than a FS MTB (motor assisted or not)
Askaig?? Arkaig…..
Epic is not the word. You pair are mad (in a nice way). Cant wait to see what you both get up to next
That was a cool ride for sure.
Commando training ground for WWII, home to wild boar (Loch Arkaig), Jacobite gold hoard said to be hidden up there too…..
really love your videos, I also have GCN+. really not enjoying the fact that increasingly you are doing paid sponsorship videos within mentioning it in the header, only did i realise after the third time you did a closeup for GORE..
Now that's a ride with a purpose 🙂
I have been to that pub! Albeit by boat! Superb place. Great ride fellas! They will have to stop saying that it is only accessible by foot! 🤣🤣
i really like how you subtle present sponsors. it never feels like a commercial 🙂
So when are you blokes doing a Southern hemisphere ride? NZ end to end, Indipac, Ausie lap?
Love ya work tho.
What an awesome video from the Global Hiking Network… ❤
When a video ist with Hank AND Marc i click faster than you can say epic ride
Also: I really hate noisy freehubs!
Flat pedals would be far better for this kind of adventure..
You should have considered using mountain bikes for this one
who is the person in the background at 18:59??
I remember looking at Knoydart from the Island of Rhum which is hard to reach and realising that it was even harder to reach
It was an extra burden to carry sneakers. Maybe it would be easier to put sneakers on your feet and ride on the platform pedals?
Remarcable indeed, keep calm fans & love pushing pedals ❤
So you went for a walk and took some bikes with you. Great video.
“How hard can it be?” – the most famous last words before all hell breaks lose…😂😂😂
So did your camera crew and drone operator also follow on bikes
For a Pint or 9 I'll bike anywhere
